Are you obsessed with FPS?

[davedudes]

Ive uninstalled Fraps, bloody sick to death of looking in the top right corner of the screen


Just enjoying the experience of playing the damn game.

I only use fraps when I get a new game and tweak my settings.

I do know where you're coming from though. Especially when you're running something quite demanding that isn't quite where you want it to be in perf terms. It niggles.

Only run it when I need to know FPS or if I'm trying to tweak settings.

Running it all the time seems daft.

Pretty much this.

If the game is to your satisfaction it doesn't matter what the fps is, imo.

I very rarely use fraps, if the game feels smooth, then I go off that, if it doesn't, I'll use fraps to see what the FPS is, and go from there.

For me i aim for 50+ fps...I am definately obsessed with it

 

[Schizo]

never and will never use it,if a game runs good then i dont see a point in using it to be honest.

all i want to do is play a game.

Yeah very much how I feel. Only really got into fps checking with flight simulator x. Very demanding sim and there are so many tweaks that I wanted it running as best I could.

indeed, when I first set up a game, I use fraps and the SLI visual indicator to set it up then take both off

What I love about the source engine and games like CSS was getting ridiculous FPSs of like 300+ massive EPEEN

I use it to make sure the vsync is working, it also lets me know if the monitor is in 60hz mode or 75hz mode.

I use MSI Afterburner with the G15 display, keep and eye on temps and FPS but I just take a peek down every now and again.

I used to be then when i realised most games ran well i didnt really care to look anymore.

I downgraded from my 4870X2 when it died to a OC'd 450GTS and all games still run without any FPS lag at 1920x1200 at the same settings, so now i just dont really care since i can run everything full settings still.

delete double post fail

 

[Semiskimmed]

i used to be when i was rocking a geforce 2 but blame having aged eyes on not really caring as long as it runs at a decent speed!

Rarely check it - if the game feels nice and plays well, then I couldn't give a toss if it's at 30fps or 200fps.
