It’s annoying, isn’t it?

I face the same issue while starting my game after installing MSI afterburner. I tried clicking here and there but couldn’t turn on the fps average, minimum, and maximum until an hour. So, I did some research and found out it’s a very straightforward process to follow.

But why are my fps average, min, and the max not showing?

Your FPS average, min, and max are not showing because you didn’t select the recording of those benchmarks. You may have allowed the hardware monitoring statistics and also checked the “Show in On-Screen Display” option but didn’t initiate the recording.

After the research, I have solved the issue pretty easily, and I will explain how you can solve yours. Read till the end and follow the methods to resolve your problem quickly.
