Software which displays current framerate?

[joenewbie]

I was watching one of Linus' videos where he was doing benchmarks on my videocard and I noticed at the top right hand of the game the current framerate displayed.  Is this native to the game or is there software I can install which will do the same?  My card can be overclocked so I want to do some tests to see what I presently get vs how hard I can push it. 

Thanks in advance.

fraps can do that (and probably what he was using)

Either Fraps, Nvidia Shadowplay or MSI AfterBurner.

 

EDIT: Shadowplay and Afterburner's displays are far less annoying than Fraps with much more laid back colors. Shadowplays being a light green and MSI's being a smaller display and purple. Whereas FRAPS is a gigantic yellow display that can be quite unpleasing to look at.

You can use a recording software like fraps or even bandicam, but you can also use EVGA'S Precision X On-screen display. Not only does it show you FPS but it can also show GPU temp, load, VRAM usage, etc. If you configure it.

My card is an MSI, and I have Afterburner, guess I'll have to go to the help file to find which keys turn it on/off.  

Thanks for the fast response, much appreciated.

You can use Shadowplay as well since you're using an Nvidia GPU. MSI Afterburner however is the best choice as it also can display GPU load and temperature.

I could never get it to work properly with MSI Afterburner

For some reason it's insisting I put the .exe file for the program I want to display the framerate in.   When I do, it still doesn't work, so I dunno if it's the fault of Steam in general or what.   Blah, no biggie in any case, it's not like I'm playing graphics intensive games that require me to push my limits anyway, I was just trying to figure out what those limits were.
