Showing FPS in Linux games

artem · 03-20-11, 12:39 PM

I cannot find any utility/application for Linux which shows FPS counter in games.

For Windows we have FRAPS, for Linux we have ... nothing?

Don't tell me to enable in-game FPS counter - too many games lack it.

Maybe NVIDIA has some sort of environment variable to force-enable FPS counter?

frapix doesn't yet exist (project is here, but there are no files and no repository), I'll try libglfps soon.

Thanks anyway.

Hm, there it is, but last night it was empty. Guess it was a glitch.
