How to display framerate and take screenshots ingame?

Do all games have the option to display framerate? If not how can I show it?

Also, how do I take screenshots ingame, printscreen doesn't work.

FRAPS is a good program. try it

It depends on the game and capture settings.. Sometimes it will make a game unplayable.

yep, i assumed ^he meant for capture

Fraps (trial version) has both of these features built in. I think if you have the trial version and you take a screenshot there's a watermark but I could be wrong.o0Pwnzorz0o

No watermark, but you're restricted to capturing screenshots in BMP format, which can be easily converted with a free program like IrfanView.

If you are using Steam pressing F12 takes a picture.

I would use MSI Afterburner, I like it more than FRAPS.

I have tried FRAPS and ZDsoft, both are good. the quality of FRAPS is just great :D

Ok thanks guys, and since someone mentioned Steam, what are the benefits of Steam as opposed to buying on a disc or from somewhere else?SaltyMeatballs

Mostly convenience and price. Steam always has sales. Plus, quite a few games need steam anyways so when you install from disc they are connected to steam anyways

Fraps as said above. It allows benchmarking, screenshots, and recording gameplay. I use it alot, and it doesn't lag.
