Steam Built in FPS Counter

[JK47]

Hey All,
I am working on a new benchmarking video and thought I would share something that I didnt know before. Steam actually has a great built in FPS counter that is easier to read and friendlier than the built in FSX one (which is accessed by pressing Z on your keyboard) and less cumbersome than FRAPS

To use the Steam FPS counter:
1 - Go to the "Steam" option at the top left of your interface
2 - Go down to the "Settings" option
3 - Click on the "In Game" tab
4 - You will see an option for "In Game FPS Counter" select it and the position you would like it in. (note, the counter is grey by default but if you want it to be a green/yellowish color which is easier to see, select "High Contrast Color")

Thats it. Has been working great for me and for those of you who would like a less obtrusive counter that is accurate it is nice to know this feature is built into Steam.

Let me know if you have any questions.
