   what program does everyone use for measuring FPS and other stuff in games?
   I only have fraps from AGES ago and every new game seemingly hates it's guts now

     @Iffine just tried running it to test snowbreak but it doesn't seem to be working :thinkinghrr:
     
     Fo I have to launch games through it for monitoring? Or does it only work on supported games?

     @Meemoo The main one I often see around for monitoring is Special K, though I hardly use it myself. Sells itself on doing everything.

     @Iffine ok so
     I tried using geforce experience to measure performance while special K was running in the back doing nothing
     
     that somehow froze my PC so goddamn hard that launching task manager with ctrl+alt+delete couldn't fix it. not even sleep mode stopped the task and I had to ctrl alt delete on the locked screen to regain mouse control to restart my PC
     
     so that was cool i guess.

     @Meemoo Gotta launch games through Special K's launcher yeah. There's ways to configure that to be automatic, say through steam. Once that's done, it should pop up with the notification upon booting the game and being able to hook in.

     @Meemoo :cirno_laugh2: Good old Geforce Experience. Never had it work in the way Nvidia wants it to, and honestly I've been installing just the drivers without the program because it causes quite a few unneeded issues. Often times the Geforce experience app would always freeze up and crash when I used it.
     Special K is a little unique in how it works in that it is a direct hook into the program, so issues can arise there too. While I don't think it'll be an issue for snowbreak since it likely doesn't have some grandstanding anti-cheat, that is something to be aware of. Though whether that PC freeze was due to either of these things is beyond me.

     @Iffine yeah SK felt too complex for what I need. my GPU's software does the job just fine.
     I wanted to see how much FPS I was getting in FF16. game's optimized like doodoo
