Is there a way to display FPS of a game in a second screen?

[Tarvaln]

I'm trying to find a program that will let me display the FPS of a game I'm playing in a second monitor.

I use a program called SMAA for most of the anti-aliasing in my games. It does not do well with other screen overlays such as FRAPS and MSI Afterburner.

If you're using MSI Afterburner, detach the graph monitor and place it on the second monitor. It updates in background if I recall correctly.

..and there's an app for that now
with the latest Afterburner remote server - control and monitor FPS etc. with your phone

I don't think the graph portion of MSI Afterburner nor the mobile app will show me the FPS count of a game I am playing. Unless this is a setting I don't know about?

fps worked for me on the Android phone - may need to enable it scroll down to bottom of the list under the Monitoring Tab
or maybe that setting is only for actual MSI cards?

No, it doesn't work with some games, and some games it can work with can break with AA modes, or using AA and/or shader injectors. You'll get nothing at all, or 0 FPS reported. FRAPS will report FPS, but AFAIK, it only shows on the primary monitor.

The graph portion can have FPS listed as well.
