How do I count frames?

Immaculate · Jul 27, 2013

I want to know exactly how many FPS im getting during games. Also check the temps of CPU and GPU.

I thought I've read FRAPS has an impact on actual frames numbers. I want something as low impact as possible.

If you are recording with FRAPS, you will take a significant framerate hit. If you are using it simply for showing your FPS, you should be fine.

Alright, I read a lot of people use MSI Afterburner to show the frames to them, I downloaded that but can't find that option.
Also what is the "Burn in test" on Kombustor?

If you go to the "Settings" section, under the "Monitoring" tab it should say "On-Screen Display" or OSD. If you scroll through that there should be an option for FPS.

In MSI Afterburner (forgive me if I'm wrong as I don't have the program), turn on "On Screen Display (OSD)." That will show your FPS as well as information regarding your GPU such as usage percentage, clock speeds, etc.

The "Burn in test" is used to stress test your GPU. It's useful for stability tests after overclocking your GPU.

So I hotkeyed the OSD stuff. I thought it wasn't doing anything but all it is doing is messing with the Afterburner application itself and not the display. On an extra window attached to Afterburner is where its making the "OSD" changes. I want the the colored frame counter in the corner.

Just use fraps, its very simple to use, there will be very small impact on FPS. I compared my FPS in gta iv without and with Fraps, i only lost 1 Fps. shouldnt be a biggy

Immaculate :

Are you sure you have all of the information you want in the OSD (such as FPS, core clock, gpu usage, etc.) set up correctly? Make sure they all are set to "show in OSD" and not "show in tray icon" or "show in logitech keyboard LCD display."

I agree with Fury. Using Fraps is the best option, as it's simple and easy to use with minimal frame droppage.

+1 for FRAPS.
Unless you truly need to know stats about your GPU while playing, just use FRAPS. It's easier, takes a light toll on your FPS (as previously stated), and it also takes up less space in the corner of your screen during gaming.
