How do I test my FPS?!

[oanj 28]

Hey guys I see all these posts like: "I have 40 fps in the woods and 15 fps in cities" I can run the game fine with no lag etc but how do I see what fps I'm on?

There are a fewprograms out there, any recording one will do. Fraps is most likely the easiest one to install.

I use EVGA Precision X and Rivatuner Statistics to tell me what my FPS is, along with literally any other GPU parameter you'd want to monitor during playing. You can definitely see big spikes and valleys when entering cities :D.

 

I previously recorded with Mirillis Action which had a nice active FPS counter but I use ShadowPlay now since there is little to no performance hit and the quality is good.
