How to Find Out the Frames Per Second On Your Screen

Knowing the frames that are displayed per second can help you diagnose your CPU’s and display’s performance, this is specifically important if you happen to be a hardcore gamer. While several applications (mainly games) that may require the awareness of the frames per second used for diagnostics provide a command line method to have it displayed, some of them fail to incorporate this feature.

In this situation, there is an alternative solution that helps you determine the FPS accurately. Fraps (Windows | Shareware) is a benchmarking tool that lets you easily find out the number of frames per second at a given time on your screen, occupying minimal screen real estate, Fraps displays the frames per second unobtrusively on the bottom corner of your screen.  The statistics maybe exported and referred later.

Apart from providing stats on frames used, it is also a screen capturing and recording software. It provides a user-friendly mechanism to efficiently capture screens and record gameplay/screenplay.

Fraps maybe downloaded for free but has a few limitations, the free version watermarks images captured and provides only a 30 second time range for screen recording. For the purpose of measuring FPS, the free version is sufficient.
