How do I check my FPS?

A browser FPS test shows how smoothly your display renders. For actual game FPS, use an overlay such as the Steam overlay, Xbox Game Bar, or your graphics card software.

60 FPS is smooth for most games, 30 is playable, and 120 or more suits high-refresh-rate monitors and competitive play.

How do I see FPS in games?

Turn on an FPS counter in Steam, press Windows plus G for the Xbox Game Bar, or use the NVIDIA or AMD overlay.

The browser FPS test

A browser test measures how many frames per second the page renders, which is capped by your monitor's refresh rate. It is a quick way to confirm your display and browser are running smoothly.

Measuring in-game FPS

For real game frame rates, enable the Steam in-game FPS counter, press Windows plus G for the Xbox Game Bar, or use the NVIDIA or AMD overlay while playing.

Low FPS?

If your game FPS is low, lower the graphics settings or resolution and update your GPU driver. To understand how frame rate relates to your screen, see refresh rate vs frame rate.

Confirm

Run the FPS test to check your display, then use an overlay in-game.
