Checking My Fps

Dervish

<div class="IPBDescription">please tell me how</div> Forgive me for sounding like a complete newb, but I'm honestly wondering how I can check the FPS I get playing NS. I know it's *bad*, but I'd like to be able to numerically check my FPS before and after I tweak things. NS is my first online shooter, so I've never needed to check my frames before this...

So anyways, if someone could let me know how to actually *check* my FPS, I'd be grateful.

p.s: I tried to search for this topic, but unfortunately the search is giving me 'page not found' errors, so I appologize if this is a repeat post

But turn it off when you want to play because it will give you a pretty important performance hit.
To take it off, type net_graph 0 in the console.

You can leave cl_showfps 1 on all the time though, it doesn't take up any ressources.
But with the Net_graph 1,2 and 3, you can get FPS hits from 5 to 50%!

I've never seen a fps hit with net_graph 1, it always sits and 100.00fps <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
