How to Fix Nvidia Overlay Stats Showing N/A (Quick & Easy)

If your Nvidia overlay stats are stuck showing "N/A," you’re not alone — and luckily, the fix is simple.

What Does “N/A” Mean in Nvidia Overlay?

When GeForce Experience or Nvidia’s in-game overlay displays “N/A” for stats like FPS, GPU usage, or temperature, it usually means the monitoring service isn't running properly in the background.

This can happen after a driver update, Windows update, or a fresh install.

The Quick Fix: Restart the FrameView SDK Service

Here’s how to fix it in less than 2 minutes:

✅ Step-by-Step:

Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog
Type: services.msc and hit Enter
Scroll and find NVIDIA FrameView SDK Service
Right-click it → Click Properties
Under Startup type, change it to:
- Automatic or
- Automatic (Delayed Start)
Click Apply, then OK
Restart your PC

That’s it — your stats should now display correctly in the overlay.

Still Not Working?

If the issue persists:

Make sure GeForce Experience is up to date
Reinstall or repair Nvidia drivers using the latest version from Nvidia’s website
Disable and re-enable the in-game overlay from GeForce Experience settings

Final Tip

For best results, always restart your PC after applying changes to Windows Services. Many users miss this step — and it often makes the difference.
