    How do you find out how many FPS you are getting? I seen a screenshot of Oblivion somewhere and it had a display to show how many FPS there were.

    Open console with ~ or ` depending on region and type in TDT for oblivion

    other games have different console commands.

    alternatively download Fraps and load it, then play the game of your choice. It will display the FPS.

    Yeah, fraps is great. You can record your game screen with that too.

    Thanks guys, I downloaded Fraps. Its really easy to use. But I realized I was only getting 60 fps max in Call of Duty United Offensive Multiplayer; 30 fps in crowded areas. ......... Oh well, that's what I get for having a mobo with no AGP or PCI-E graphics, I have a :swear: PCI graphics card.

    Why is 60 and 30 fps a bad thing? Its more than your tele is running at.
    Anything below 25 and it gets a bit crappy.

    PCI cards are grim :) I had a voodoo 5500 PCI card, upgraded (!) to an AGP mx420 which wasnt much better though. My voodoo was actually better in GTA3!
