Common Show FPS commands?

[ballmode]

Is there a universal Show FPS command, or does it vary by game?

fraps.exe 😉

Fraps kills my ingame experience, lag city.

Someone ought to make a gigantic list of games and their show-fps commands and host it somewhere...

Unreal Engine games are convenient here; "stat fps" will show fps in everything from Unreal 1 to Deus Ex to UT2007(probably).

Games using the Quake engines, (half-life to ET) usually use "cg_showfps 1".

well BF2 is

renderer.drawfps 1 and you put that in the console, so theres one

and in HL2 i think its something like cl_showfps 1 (though u can use 1-3 for different variations) and i forget what the netgraph thing is in source but it shows u your network traffic along with FPS

It varies according to game but commands across engines are typically the same.

For Quake 3 based games its cg_drawFPS 1.
For Doom 3 based games its com_showfps 1.
For Unreal & Unreal 2 based games its timedemo 1 (or stat fps if the doesn't work).
For HL2 based games its cl_showfps 1.
