Get FPS in Games?

[UsmanGTA]

Hi Guys,

 

So I've been working on benchmarking my new PC. So how do I benchmark them?, I do know there are screen recording softwares are there and all games do not have built in FPS counters. At the moment I am using Fraps benamrk which exports the min/max/avg to a file. I do not think that's working ok! For COD AW it shows my avg FPS 105 and my max 418 0_0 WTH! GTA V behcmaarking tool gives me 45.50FPS on Ultra with that tool in the file it shows 75 . Now what is the best program?

 

THANKS

Fraps eats your FPS. Use the ingame benchmark that most games provide.

i just use steam overlay and check with my eye.

 

its working you are using it improperly though im willing to bet you had it running right when you booted the game, menus its not uncommon to have hundreds or even thousands of FPS

 

loading times can also TANK fps or make them skyrocket well beyond your actual gameplay fps

steam has a built in fps counter, as do some games.

fraps eats fps if you are recording, it doesn't if you are just using it to monitor fps

Oh, I always just used the in game benchmark and made a graph in excel

You can download MSI Afterburner and set it up with the included Rivia tuner statistics server.
