Overview of hardware monitoring software's effect on gaming performance.
In 2017 there was a discussion about hardware monitoring software impacting gaming performance, though the extent was never specified.
It depends on the hardware setup. The impact will be greater if the system runs slower. Faster CPUs with more cores usually have extra capacity, and as long as memory limits aren<|pad|>, it should be a small change. Also consider the monitoring software and how often it checks. Is it just logging or showing data that passes through? It should be straightforward to test with a benchmark. Record the results several times, then compare them with your monitoring tool to check for any noticeable variation. I think the difference might be very small and within error range.
