FRaps not working in BF3?

I turned on fraps to see the frames per sec and there was no display. Any other program?

I'm not sure but the game was super laggy for me, I'm think I need a video card or something.
 
I have an 8800GTS and I turned everything to medium and down and the tanks look much worse then BC2 and it's still choppy. Playable but not visually impressive

I have used Fraps and Dxtory without issue. In general sometimes I have to restart Fraps to get the fps overlay. MSI Afterburner can also do this for free.

Did you use a quad core?

Played it tonight on a friends x2 555 stock/8800gts and the best settings ended up being low 1024x768...

Anything more and it would run like complete crap .

For such low specs it looked pretty ok and single player is epic i think:thumbsup:

No I have a core 2 duo, I seriously gotta upgrade but I'm not loving this game yet. I played almost a thousand hours of Bad Company 2 and still love it, but the sniper scope sway and the cheap looking and sounding tanks of BF3... I don't know, maybe I'm just not used to it yet. I also seem to be getting base raped/spawn killed a lot, I have no clue about the maps so I can't say for sure but it's reminding me of Modern Warfare where there were no sides, people coming up from behind constantly.
 
What are you a mod Padawan?

I'm going to start another one in this section if someone doesn't give me a good answer in my BF3 Computer build question in the Hardware section 😛
