How to know FPS of a Game
Well almost everyone plays games and everyone wants to know how well their graphics card pumps out. The main performance factor of a Graphics card is the FPS( Frames per second). To feel the continuation of motion FPS should be more than 16. The normal Theater movies are run at 24 Fps and Videos on 30 Fps.
We can judge the performance of the graphics card by knowing the fps of the game .To know the fps of a game there are a lot of options one is the command window in the game itself the problem with this is that we have to know the command to show the fps usually the command is “showfps” but it changes with the game..
FRAPS is a software which is quite useful and effective in knowing the Fps of a game.
“Fraps (derived from Frames per second) is a benchmarking, screen capture, and real-time video capture utility for Direct X and OpenGL applications. It is commonly used to determine a computer’s performance with a game, as well as record gaming footage. The program is very popular in the making of amateur machinima films.” (source Wiki).
By enabling the software we can see the FPS of the game at top of the screen the position of the view can be changed in the software itself
