Yep. all the stuff you mentioned can change FPS. FPS stands for Frames Per Second, thats how many times an image is displayed in a second. More the better.

I knew that but i was wondering if there was a way that you could figure out the frames per second, and does it change for different games?
Ok, so i used fraps while playing ghost recon advanced warfighter and got between 30 and 40 fps. Is that good or bad? I'm currently using a geforce 7300LE(upgrading to 8600u when it comes out)
30-40 is really good for your gpu and the game. What are the rest of your specs and what settings are the game on? el_carl
C2D E6600
4GB Ram(overkill, i know but in my opinion it was cheap)
any other specs you want to know just ask, and being a noob I don't really know what settings you're talking about, i don't know how to change settings so i play with whatever settings they are on.
Much below 30 fps you'd want to be a little concerned. 60 fps and above is the best. Some games, however, could work well as low as 20 fps without too much trouble and only text-based games or non-time-critical events can go lower. Changing settings (graphics settings quite likely) varies on the game. They're either accessible within the game itself (while playing it), and/or on the start up window.
I often don't need any fps utility as I can tell just by watching how jerky the motion is (from all the experiments and things I've done, I've gotten used to it).

today i got some really weird results, but anyway yesterday i was running graw with 1024 by 768 resolution and was getting between 30 and 40 fps, today i tried running it under the same resolution and was getting between 8 and 12 fps, then tried under the max resolution which was 1680 by 1050 and got 18 to 20 fps. Can someone tell me whats going on?
you might have had background stuff going on at that time..... or you may have disabled something without realising like anti-alising or vertical sync??

pretty sure i didn't have anything running, as for anti-alising and vertical sync and other settings, i have no idea what those are.
Also, playable framerates vary on the game genre that you are playing. You can get away with an FPS of 20-30 in RTS games, but in shooting and action games, you want an FPS above 30.
