How do I check my fps while playing games?
Look for the FPS number in the top-right corner of your gaming screen. It updates automatically as you play.
Certain games come with built-in features. You can try Fraps, a well-known option. With an Nvidia card, you might see FPS through GeForce Experience’s Shadowplay feature. The AMD Gaming Evolved app seems to lack similar functionality.
With a GTX series card, Shadowplay offers FPS tracking within GeForce Experience. Many titles include this functionality, typically activated through the console settings. For most other scenarios, Fraps provides the solution.
Download the MSI afterburner and when prompted to install Rivia Tuner Statistics, confirm by saying yes. This is the most comprehensive option for analyzing in-game performance. It provides detailed insights beyond just frames per second—such as frame timing, clock speed, GPU usage, memory speed/usage, RAM activity, CPU usage per core, and temperatures. All the essential data you need.
I’m not aware of any monitoring that causes performance issues. Rivia tuner stats are clearly the top choice. (pun intended)
Didn't realize it was turned off by default. You need to adjust settings, activate the shortcuts, set blocking shortcuts for the OSD, and then check the monitoring tab to turn on which stats appear in the display.
It has been quite some time since the installation. You can enable or disable the overlay with any key you prefer.
