How to see fps..

Yeah i just wanted to know how i can see how many fps my card is running at. And also, When i play far cry my texture detail is going on medium now.. It use to run on very high when i first go my computer, im just wondering whats going on. And games are seeming a bit sluggish. Is it maybe because i need a updated driver or something? I have a Ati Radieon 9800 pro 128mb..

 

For seeing the fps, very few games (as far as I've experienced (very limited)) have a function to see the frame rate so...just look, you never know what you'll find.

As for the games l a g g i n g...hard drive/partition space? Fragmentation? My Unreal Tournament 2004 was gagging on the 10GB partition I tried to run it on (stupid defaults, I set it to C:, when D: (set for games) is at 130GB). I changed that, and now it's good.

 

There's a tool to view your fps in Full-Screen 3d games. Here is the site: http://www.fraps.com/

 

if you are talking about farcry, then you must bring up the consol ingame by hitting the ~ key just below Esc and type in "\r_displayinfo 1"without the quotes,0 will turn it off
