In game fps

[Sandvich]

How do you see the fps you re getting in games what program do you use? 

[Hyttech]

You can use many programs, like fraps, some games, like CS:GO also have in game fps meters, in this case visible by the console command "net_graph 1"

Or cl_showfps 1 for a more basic counter

All Source games have a built in one "cl_showfps 1", BF4 has one "perfoverlay.drawfps 1" otherwise, you could use Fraps.

Some people have reported cl_showfps 1 as lowering their frame rate, can't say for myself though

Oh, noted.

Okay so how do you do this for battlefield?

What about average FPS?

Download FRAPS. It's very lightweight, and gives a clearly-visible FPS counter. You can even benchmark later if you decide to. You don't need to buy a license just to have the frame counter open.

but fraps decimates my fps

[Humbug]

Just use steam. Like the other steam features it's probably not locked down to games you have bought on steam.

For BF4 you use command "perfoverlay.drawfps 1" (no case sensitive). It only shows current fps since average is counted within timeframe. For that you'd need Fraps. If current is what you are looking for, you can automate it by placing text file named user.cfg in Program Files folder where game is. Insert all console commands you want to use there, each on separed line. For BF3 command for fps is "Render.DrawFps 1" (same as for all previous BF games).

If you have an NVidia GPU, there's an option under ShadowPlay to enable a FPS counter.

fraps only really impacts your fps if you are recording....there is a settting believe shortcut F11 to do a benchmark. it records your max/min and avg fps and then save the info to a file

Fraps, shadowplay, dxtory.
