Well, if you are a gamer, then you might know the importance of an FPS. FPS, or Frames Per Second, is linked to monitoring refresh rates during gameplay on computers, smartphones, and consoles. A game running at high FPS would look smoother.
To monitor the Frame rates, PC gamers often install third-party apps. As of now, there are plenty of FPS counters available for Windows that can display a game’s FPS in real-time. However, third-party FPS monitoring tools have some drawbacks.
Third-party FPS counters not only consume storage space but also run in the background all the time, consuming both battery and CPU resources. To deal with such issues, Microsoft introduced a built-in FPS counter on Windows 10.
