They discover that the asus gpu tweak ii app adds advertising in games

ASUS GPU Tweak II is a utility that the company includes with its graphics cards, which allows to overclock and monitor them. Among its many monitoring features is full-screen overlay mode in games, which can be configured to display parameters such as GPU temperature, clock speed, frame rate, etc.

ASUS GPU Tweak II is included with all company graphics cards

Turns out, Reddit user " PurpleSquash640 " posted a screenshot of an ASUS ad that overlapped with Battlefield V full screen. This is something we have never seen before, or at least that I personally remember.

This square banner is located in the central right corner of the screen, with a practical text of “deactivate this image by pressing ctrl + alt + F”. When GPU Tweak II is closed (background process disabled), the banner disappears.

Advertising disseminates different products of the company

The banner itself markets the latest ASUS 20 Series RTX graphics cards. "PurpleSquash640" captioned this banner with "wtf?" in your screenshot, and we can't disagree with that sentiment. This is the first of many questionable ASUS practices in recent times, including the unsolicited injection of files into the Windows System32 folder by its latest motherboards.

It is very possible that when this is spread more massively, ASUS will reconsider with this quite questionable practice. After all, there are plenty of other options that display game performance statistics without the need for advertising. What do you think?
