How accurate is it??

Hey Guys!
I just have a simple question: How accurate is the FRAPS program that people use to monitor their Frames Per Second during gameplay?
Thanks

I would say its dead on.

extremely close, aside from the fact it doesn't use decimals. of course it does slightly alter the reading just by the fact that it takes system resources but it would be virtually unnoticeable. why do you ask?

I was just wondering because when I play Americas Army my fps are anywheres from 35 to 400, that is with "stat fps" in game FPS checker... but when I use FRAPS i am almost always around 60-80

America's Army?

You could do better for a free FPS. Wolfenstein, for example.

Plus, AA comes with free army propaganda...

...... Americas Army is cool... and its free, but yeah FRAPS, dead on

Fraps is a good program. If you look at all the reading you got, FRAPS makes the most sense...60-80 instead of 35-400. That would be a rather large jump.

fraps seems dead on to me. It's almost always dead on with my cs readings

Lol on css i always have 30-120 fps, but on fraps i have a steady 50 fps and sometimes 40ish
