How do you tell how many FPS you are getting in a game. I'm sorta new to gaming and can't see where you guys are getting these figures. I'm playing Thief 3 and was curious how fast mine was going, given my pathetic fx5200 card.

Usually, each game has it's own command for displaying the FPS, while some games don't even have this ability.

You could give Fraps a try, as it will show the FPS in ANY game. It's not free though.

It is if you are a "computer" person.
