Hello dear friends.

Today we will talk to you on how to find out the FPS in games. So, for a start, it is necessary to delve into the definition of "FPS".

It is literally deciphered as "Frame Per Second", or frames per second. This value indicates the number of frames per second, which is displayed on the monitor of your computer at the moment.

Accordingly, the more this figure, the more smooth the picture on the monitor during your game. True and the opposite - the smaller this figure, the picture will become more durgan, with the presence of sections and lags.

What does the amount of FPS depend on this or that game? Everything is very simple, firstly, from the configuration of your computer, and more specifically bundles of the processor and video card. The more these two glands are modern and more powerful, respectively, the computer will be easier to process graphics and thereby make it faster (FPS will rise).

Also, the amount of FPS depends on the game itself. To date, the games have become very popular to your gland, so it must be borne.

For such games, according to experienced gamers, 50 FPS are the best value, and if you prefer something simpler, games where there is no big performance (old games), then 30 FPS is enough for you.

Here, no matter how cool, but without additional software can not do. I will describe the two most popular programs at the moment:

Fraps

In order to find out the amount of FPS in the game, you should download and install the FRAPS program, make it you can on the official website here: http://www.fraps.com/download.php. (Click on the Download FRAPS link)

Its main advantage is that it is free. Also, it practically does not affect the performance of the PC during the game, so you can not worry about the lags. In a nutshell, the program writes everything that happens on your monitor.

You can record not only any games, but also something else (program review or something like that). At the top of the pop-up window, the FPS is shown, which gives your computer at the moment. During your game, this value will be found in the upper right or left corner of the screen.

MSI Afterburner.

Another useful thing. I honestly like it more, because the functionality allows you to make a overclocking (acceleration) of video cards, pros. You can also monitor the rotation of the coolers and another bunch of everything. Yes, there are still versions of this program not only for a stationary company, but also for Android and iOS.

Official site: https://ru.msi.com/page/AfterBurner.

If you need a regular version, then download it from the downloads tab, on the first link by clicking Download Afterburner

During the installation process, you will be offered to deliver the Afterburner itself, but also Rivatuner. This rivatuner is very important, without it, there will be no display in the background, so do not refuse to install this additional utility.

So, after installing the program, the first thing we need to go to the settings by pressing the SETTINGS button.

Well, or if the skin skin looks different, then click this button:

In this menu, in the "Monitoring" tab, we should mark the indicators that we want to see during the game.

And also, mark the point "Show in an overlay screen display" - this check box will affect the display of the numbers themselves in the left corner of the indicators themselves during the game.

Well, at the end you need to click OK.

In the rest all the settings of the type of display color, font size, etc. - I think you will figure it out.

Maybe somehow for this program I will make a separate big post, but for now I think it has painted enough.

Software everything.

Well, even a small senteni

Also, in many games there are hotkeys (for example, Ctrl + F), which will help you learn the FPS in the game without third-party programs (without FRAPS and TP).

You should only dig in the settings for the game, and find whether this feature is present in your game.

And today everything.

There is a list of programs in the functionality of which there is a FPS display function in the game. But what is it? FPS - the number of frames per second, which the user sees on the PC screen during the game. The more this indicator, the better. This is especially true for shooters. Special programs offer to monitor this value. Let's look at them in more detail.

One of the most famous representatives of this list. The FRAPS functionality includes recording video from the screen, creating screenshots and, of course, it is suitable for measuring FPS in games. Frapse works on top of all windows, so you do not have to switch between processes.

This program has a simple interface and a small functionality, but it is enough for those purposes for which FRAPS is downloaded. The trial version is distributed free of charge and enough for it in order to understand whether the attention is worthy of.

Sam

CAM is designed to monitor the entire system as a whole. It is also suitable for viewing the number of frames in games. In addition to this information, the screen displays the load on the processor and the video card, their temperature. It contains everything in order to be constantly informed of the state of your PC.

The program applies absolutely free and has Russian. Cam will always notify you about critical loads or system temperatures, which will help to avoid failures in its work. All notifications can be configured in the appropriate menu.

FPS monitor

The name speaks for itself. The program is great for displaying FPS in games, and also helps to keep track of other parameters of the system. There are several harvested scenes for various operating modes.

The trial version is distributed free and has limited functionality. The full version costs 400 rubles and has no restrictions. In any of their versions there is a Russian interface language.

Overwolf.

The main purpose of this representative is not a FPS counter, but the creation of various interfaces for games. However, in the settings you can set the frame monitoring parameter per second. After that, you just need to go to the game with the program enabled and the indicator will be displayed in the place you specified in the settings.

Absolutely free, almost the entire interface is translated into Russian and there are many additions you can download or buy in the inner store. Installed plugins and skins are placed in the library.

MSI Afterburner.

A multifunctional program that helps customize the computer and increase its performance. Thanks to MSI AfterBurner, you can set parameters for speed or graphics, change the settings of the cooler and much more.

The functionality of the program includes full monitoring of the system, including the displacement of the number of frames per second in the Games.

Using the AVT vehicle, you can dispersed the video card, but it is worth it only to experienced users. The program is distributed completely free, but not fully Russified.

How to see FPS in the COP

FPS is an important indicator reflecting the number of frames per second. With its low value of the COP, it will be lagged all the time, so killing opponents will be extremely hard. After reading this article, you will learn how to enable the FPS counter in the COP at least 7 ways.

7 ways to check the FPS in the COP

What kind of FPS is considered normal?

Modern monitors (usually) support or 60 or 75 Hz per second. Based on this logic, 75 FPS should be more than enough. However, I was convinced of the practice that it was not. I do not know exactly how it works, but the difference between 80 FPS and 200 FPS is simply huge (with a 75 Hz monitor).

I would allocate gradation as follows:

The value of the FPS is less than 40 is a low level, it is impossible to play;
About 60 - the level is weak, it is possible to play with difficulty;
80-100 - you can play;
150 FPS - a comfortable game, but sometimes it can fraud (for example, in smoke);
200-300 FPS is a good level, a comfortable game.

By the way, if your PC pulls 200-300 FPS and allow financial capabilities - take a monitor of 144 Hz - Believe me, it is worth it.

How do Professional players know the FPS?

CEH9. The once-known Navi player, and now a popular streamer and a counter-strike commentator, prefers to check the FPS to use the old good team NET_GRAPH 1. On his streams I have seen many times as he enjoys it.

Zeus. Captain Navi prefers to use CL_Showfps 1. In principle, everything is the same, only the FPS indicator is located in the upper left corner.

From myself I will add that they usually use these two teams. It makes no sense to complicate my life when there are built-in tools in the COP itself, perfectly showing FPS.

What else shows the NET_GRAPH 1 command (except for FPS)?

Let's see with you, what other data allows us to learn the Console team NET_GRAPH 1:

fPS - number of frames per second
ping - Your Ping
tick \u200b\u200bis the timing tikes
up - Number of packages you send (per second)
cMD - Number of packages you take (per second)
loss - the percentage of lost packages (the more, the worse)
choke - percentage of packages that are not received from the server (the more, the worse)
sV - number of milliseconds which is spent on the processing of your packages
+ - This is the error of the SV parameter.
var - fps server

How to assume future FPS, if you do not have access to a computer.

Suppose you are going to buy a computer and would like to know what approximately the FPS you will have after it acquisition. In general, the task is not easy. I propose to follow such items:

Watch the recommended requirements for the COP go and find out whether your future computer will pull out. If so, with a probability of 99% of the FPS, there will be more than 150 and play will be quite comfortable.
On YouTube, you can also find a lot of video with testing of various processors and video cards. It is enough to drive into the search for something like "FPS in the COP GTX 970" and see if someone shot video

Why check your FPS?

Check FPS allows you to understand whether lags are connected in a low FPS game or not. Because it happens that the user has one of the newest video cards, and the counter strike lags. This, of course, is not normal, but the reason is clearly not in the weak configuration of the computer. Well, the reverse situation: if the COP is very slow and the FPS is low, then try twisting the settings to a minimum, and if it did not help, it means it's time to think about buying a new PC.

All information is presented to familiarize

Contacts.

The abbreviation FPS (FPS) is decrypted as Frame.Per.seconds.that in the literal translation means " Frames per second" This value is expressed in the numerical indicator. Number shows us how many personnel Displayed on the computer monitor during the gameplay in one second. It is this parameter that is considered one of the most important When evaluating the performance of personal computers in games. The higher the indicator, the more comfortable the player and the more nice the picture on the screen. You can independently check the indicator of the FPS in any game and understand whether your computer is enough for modern standards.

How to define FPS

Some computer games have built-in opportunity Tracking FPS right in the gameplay process. It is enough for this enable Appropriate setting in the menu. In other cases, you will have to use third-party software. One of these programs is Fraps. The application does not affect the performance of the computer and works in the background.

First thing download Fraps on a computer and install. To do this, open the application site in the browser and click on the download button.

Launch Installation file. Click on the consent button " I.Agree"And in the next window, specify the installation folder:

Now you need to start Fraps And set it up on the background work in all games. Launch The application from the label on the desktop.

On the main screen, install the checkboxes in the following items:

Now Fraps will work in the background. So that the program is automatically started when the operating system is loaded, set the mark near the " RUN.Frapswhen.Windowsstarts.».

In the FPS tab you can change folder To save screenshots and assign a button to enable / disable the display of FPS in games. Do not forget to install the corresponding ticks:

With FRAPS you can write down Gameplay and save it on a hard disk, but our goal is to obtain data on frames per second. Now you can click on the folding button so that the program appears in the tray on the Start pane.

Now launch Any of the games installed on PC. In the upper left corner, yellow numbers will appear, which are an indicator of FPS. The value will be displayed down until the game is closed.

Optimal number of frames per second

Generally accepted norm for a comfortable gameplay is considered 30 frames per second. However, the smoothness of the picture and the rate of reaction in dynamic games is largely depends on the FPS, so players prefer minimum 60 FPS Without sidelines during high load on iron. Especially it concerns cybessport Disciplines (for example, Dota 2 or CS GO), in which each second is important to accept game solutions. For such games, an acceptable indicator is considered from 100 FPS and higher. If your computer does not give out the coveted 30 or 60 frames, you can always reduce the graphics settings to medium or minimum.

If you want to learn how to see FPS in the game, then you most likely decided to measure the performance of your computer. It is quite difficult to do this, but fortunately there are special programs that output the current number of frames per second on the screen. And the best of these applications will be considered in the above article.

Fraps

This utility is primarily designed to record video. However, it also has other functions, which include the possibility of displaying the number of frames per second. Before seeing how much FPS in the game, you need to install FRAPS, and then do the following:

As you probably understood, the main advantage of this utility is its simplicity. However, there is FRAPS and one significant drawback. Thus, the program has very few settings, and also does not show any additional data on the system status and load on separate components. However, FRAPS applies free of charge, so that you may not worry about that in vain spent your money.

Steam

Not everyone knows, but such an opportunity to see FPS in the game, there is a popular digital store Steam in the client. It is not surprising. After all, to turn it on, you must first dig in the settings. This is done like this:

No more manipulations from you will need, and the frame meter will be displayed automatically. Just keep in mind that before seeing FPS in the game, you will need to first buy it in Steam or add as a third-party application.

A plus of this method is the absence of the need to set separate programs to count the frame rate. Of course, if you actively use Steam. As for the minus, he, as in the case of FRAPS, lies in low informativeness.

MSI Afterburner.

A powerful program that allows you to see the FPS in the game, so and dispersed the video card, thereby raising the frame rate. Unfortunately, the framework counter for some reason is disabled by default, and you will have to start it yourself. This can be done as follows:

This useful functions utility do not end. So, by setting the appropriate parameters in the already familiar "Monitoring" section, you can track not only FPS, but also, for example, the workload of the video card and processor, their temperature used by the paging file and many other indicators. Focusing on this data, it will be easier for you to understand which of the details of your computer is a weak link.

FPS monitor

Well, finally, a professional program created exclusively for monitoring the frame rate, as well as other related parameters. In addition, the developers of this utility are constantly updated by optimizing under modern operating systems. Simply put, if you think about how to see FPS in games on Windows 10, then FPS Monitor is definitely your choice.

In order to start tracking the frame rate, it is enough to run the program simultaneously with the game. Having done this, you will see overlay that appeared in the upper left corner of the screen.
