There are several ways to check your FPS display in Windows 10 and 11. Here are the three most common methods:
Using the Windows Game Bar
The Windows Game Bar is a built-in overlay that you can use to check your FPS display, as well as other performance metrics, such as CPU usage, GPU usage, and RAM usage. To use the Windows Game Bar, follow these steps:
- Open the game that you want to check the FPS for.
- Press the Windows key + G to open the Windows Game Bar.
- Click on the Performance tab.
- The FPS counter will be displayed in the lower-left corner of the screen.
Using a third-party FPS counter
There are many third-party FPS counters available, such as MSI Afterburner and FRAPS. These counters typically offer more customization options than the Windows Game Bar, such as the ability to change the location and size of the FPS counter, and the ability to record your gameplay.
To use a third-party FPS counter, follow these steps:
- Install the FPS counter on your computer.
- Open the game that you want to check the FPS for.
- Enable the FPS counter in the settings of the FPS counter.
- The FPS counter will be displayed on your screen.
Using the in-game settings
Some games have an option to display the FPS counter in the game itself. To check if your game has this option, open the game’s settings and look for an option that says something like “Show FPS” or “Display Performance Metrics.”
Once you have found the option to display the FPS counter, enable it and then start the game. The FPS counter will be displayed on your screen.
How to Use the Screen FPS Test
A screen FPS test is a tool that you can use to test the FPS performance of your monitor. There are many different screen FPS tests available, but most of them work in a similar way.
To use a screen FPS test, follow these steps:
- Go to the website of the screen FPS test that you want to use.
- Click on the Start Test button.
- The test will begin and the FPS performance of your monitor will be displayed on the screen.
The results of the screen FPS test will vary depending on the game that you are playing, the settings that you are using, and the hardware that you have. However, the test can give you a general idea of how well your monitor is performing.

By following these tips, you can improve the FPS display of your games and get a smoother gaming experience.
