Do you ALWAYS have fraps or some other FPS measuring tool on or not ?

I have AB running and displaying on the G15 but I hardly care about it. I care more about the GPU Temp and FPS counter is added. I voted no tho without thinking carefully....

 

radeonpro or afterburner.

Afterburner in most games, and radeonpro in games that i dont want afterburner to put 3d profile (so i disable OSD)

 

Q: "do you always have fraps or some other fps measuring tool On or not?"

A:

 

crap...I dont remember voting...or what I chose...

The answer now would be "no". The only time I have it on is when I'm testing out a new game or benching, which isnt often anymore. Before it used to sit in the corner and not bother me, but now as I am watching more shows and playing less, I have to toggle it off.

 

I use my second monitor for that. I only use fraps when recording video and screenshots. Though I pay alot attention too my gpu usuage monitor cause shift is a pos with ati cards usuage in multi car races and the start of races for me.

 

barely to never, for me it is uselss unless i wanna diagnose something, or brag about high fps, usually never happens so no.

 

No...only sometimes....nice avatar, red dwarf, episode called "backwards"...don`t even ask"

 

if im digging up an old thread im sorry but I didn't use an fps counter with my 9800gtx but now that ive got a gtx460 im checking everything, once i get used to the card i most likely won't use one again for a while

 

When I want to play a game first I started the Fraps

 

I've got Afterburner's integrated RivaTuner OSD on in all 3D applications at the moment. It's interesting to see the GPU usage and temperature in-game and compare it between games, and it also shows the FPS. I'll turn it off when I know I don't need the info anymore.

 

Afterburner, it shows, core and memory speed, usage and temp for both my gpu's and fps..i also make screenshots with Afterburner..this is a very useful app.

 

Does using afterburner affect frame rate? I know people say fraps does thats why I rarely use it anymore

 

Not that I know of, Afterburner OSD is quite light and with all the info it shows... let's just say I for one could not live without it. :nerd:

 

i use afterburner, but after getting my second monitor, i use the second monitor for that.
it just feels safer seeing gpu temps

more like OCD actually -____-"

 

the new afterburner lets you capture videos now too!!!
