I was wondering how do I detect how many Frames Per Second any particular game is running at.Is there a third party application I can run in the background.Just curious,Please help.Im running XP SP2. jongaska
 FRAPS. First of all, the guy who posted above me is wrong, FRAPS only costs money if you want to be able to record your game at 30+ FPS or for longer than 30 seconds (or 20, correct me if I'm wrong). In other words: Freeware if all you want is an FPS detector.
 Secondly, FRAPS is not a system hog. It never rises to 1% of my CPU, and never goes above 7 MB of RAM for me (I have the bought version, the free version will most likely be exactly the same). If your computer cannot handle a game with 7 MB of RAM in the background, than you have a problem. If it is too severe, take off some applications, or even explorer.exe, and then bring it back after your game session.
I used the free version for about 6 years, and the bought version for a few months--never had a problem.
