Fraps is a good one, I find that in games where there is a built in FPS meter having fraps on only drops the fps by 1-2, so its no big deal.

Some games are able to show FPS after you typed a console command, so I was wondering if Skyrim had something like that too?
If not, what is the best way to monitor your FPS?

Is Fraps not that 'heavy' of a program, that I would be able to run it and still see FPS?

Or is it possible to use Bandicam too? (Since I already have that installed)

 

Details:

Skyrim on PC.

Windows 7 (64 bit)

There's no console command but if you just open Fraps and have it set to show your fps you won't have a performance impact.

Alright, I'll install Fraps and give it a go. Thanks for the advice
