SpecDev: Computer Performance Display (VRChat Avatar Add-On)

General Info

SpecDev is an avatar add-on that shows the users current computer performance in real time and is viewable by other players. Information is updated every 1.5 seconds over OSC using an EXE written by ikbenmathijs and modified by myself. SpecDev shows the following information:

• CPU and GPU make/model
• FPS and GPU Frametime
• CPU Usage % and Temperature °C
• GPU Usage % and Temperature °C
• VRAM Usage % and Usage GB and Total GB
• RAM Usage % and Usage GB and Total GB

Limitations & Performance

• SpecDev does not work on the Quest standalone version
• SpecDev has only been tested on Windows
• SpecDev uses an EXE to send information over OSC to VRChat
  • If you are not comfortable running EXEs from the internet, do not purchase this product
  • CPU temperature is only available when running the EXE as administrator
• SpecDev uses (but does not include) the free Poiyomi 8.# shader; you will need to download that separately
  • Download: https://github.com/poiyomi/PoiyomiToonShader
• SpecDev can only be seen by other players who have your avatar and shaders enabled
• SpecDev uses 2 material slots and 89 parameter memory (check your available parameter memory before purchasing!)
• CPU and GPU names, RAM and VRAM totals will need to be edited in Google Slides to match your system specs (these do not update automatically); a template for easy edits is provided
• Due to rounding and using averages over the previous 1.5 seconds, SpecDev values may be off by a unit or two compared to other live statistic services
