I found a way for people to display the FPS in Subnautica, in case if you wanted to!

I saw that people have been struggling to find a way to display the FPS in Subnautica, in-game. So here it is:

F3+6

For some reason, I am convinced that there could possibly be other F3+? combos to explore, like how in Minecraft doing F3+Something would trigger various things, like show the hitboxes of mobs or show the framerate. So I suggest people play around! Please do tell me if you explore anything else!

Actually, now that I try it out, it seems to be that FPS is F3+4 and F3+6 removes the color from the game and only displays greyscale colors... odd :|

There's also the console command "fps"

I prefer my FPS overlay ticker of my GPU.
Steam also has a FPS overlay located in steam options.

[Demolition414]

i use the steam FPS, so i have it for all my games.

I have non-Steam games so use Afterburner.

[MrPurpleHoops]

Wow. I probably haven't been dedicating myself to gaming recently because I have never heard of Afterburner. The limit to what I have heard of is hardware like the Nostromo Gaming Keypad and software like Bandicam and OBS. Also, I did not know Steam had a built-in FPS overlay ._.

But still, just to let you know it's there.

[miklkit]

You never heard of MSI Afterburner? It started out as Rivatuner around 20 years ago and still has Rivatuner imbedded in it.

It can be used to overclock the GPU, set custom fan profiles so the GPU runs nice and cool, and the Rivatuner part can be used for the On Screen Display as well as a frame rate limiter. I have the fps set to 150fps max because one game actually slows down if the fps gets too high.

It sounds a little dangerous to tamper with the fan controls on your computer. The fans need to run at a certain rate in order to cool the internal components so they don't overheat. Same reason you shouldn't block the grates on your Xbox/PS (any iteration), because ventilation is extremely important for the well-being of your hardware and plus blocking or tampering with ventilation will lead to overheating or worse, loss of hardware or accidentally bricking your machinery altogether. I don't want to run the risk, bro, so I'll stick to the materials I'm given.

Plus, there are other alternatives. Fraps does have the ability to display FPS on your screen when you're not recording and I'm certain there are other softwares that could be used to display CPU/GPU/FPS.

Although, I do like the idea of cool, breezy running speeds, but still. Also, I don't think I really need to worry about all these new-fangled gadgets because I do more designing things with my computer than I do play Video Games. Sure, Subnautica, Fallout 4 and Skyrim are really, really fun to play often, but I have things I want to be known for and so I draw using Krita and I animate using Blender. Sure, Blender is known for having very sluggish rendering times, but that's probably for the best because it literally uses your CPUs or GPUs to render large-scale projects. I won't mess with my fan speed during times like that because it was meant to cool down my CPU/GPU and I want it to keep functioning normally.

Perhaps, however, it might be interesting to invest in some form of GPU. I heard that Nvidia GPUs are known for giving people super fast, super smooth rendering times with Blender. However, they're hella expensive. The one I'm looking at costs like $1000! I'll be working hard for a long while! XD

There is no harm in customizing fan settings and that stuff as long as you know what you're doing and monitor the system correctly. I use software to monitor my temps and have custom profiles for my fans. This make my pc run a lot cooler than stock which increases component life.

[MrPurpleHoops]

Sorry, but hardware settings aren't my realm of expertise. I'm more of a designer guy with a monitor I use for Drawing and stuff. I think I'll pass because I am confident that my PC can handle my gaming and drawing... for now.

[MrPurpleHoops]

Rendering with Blender could be a pain, but I would probably focus on that a long time from now and plus I am planning on upgrading my graphics card to a Nvidia 1080P Graphics Card, so...

Of course this increases wear on the fans but those are easy and cheap to replace compared to a CPU/GPU/Mobo
