How to determine performance of game at your system

There is a term called FPS in graphic performance.
FPS is known as Frame Per Second or Frame Rate.
Gamers can know how high-end that the system can support.
normally FPS of typical LCD monitor is locked at 60fps.
the higher the fps, the graphic of the game is better.
but the maximum is 60 for normal LCD monitor.
To know the fps value of a certain game.
you can use a software call FRAPS (DOWNLOAD)
after installing this program, run it and minimize it.
then open your game and play it.
a yellow color number will appear on top left corner.
that is your FPS value.

if the range is between 45-60, your video card can support it very well.
if the range is between 30-45, you still can play smoothly.
if the range is between 20-30, quite laggy game.
if the range is below 20, you may uninstall the game directly.

FRAPS not only can display the FPS when you are gaming,
it also can take screenshot or video from your game.
you have to make a shortcut key to record the screenshot on FRAPS.
try it! =)
