Trick to display FPS within the game?

I understand there are external tools to do so, but is they a quick key or .exe launch property that can be used to have the FPS / GPU usage in the game?

 

You could show the fps with Steam overlay, but that's it without external tools!

 

You can also use nVidia's "GeForce Experience" program for that. I do not consider that as an external tool, I think in most cases it's already installed and running on your system if you have an nVidia GPU.

 

I use the built in monitoring from msi afterburner. You can monitor more than just frame rates too.

 

XBOX game bar included in Win 10 does the job, even shows CPU/GPU/RAM/VRAM usage. For some odd reason, you need to provide admin rights to show fps, which does not really work with the usual prompt you get in Windows. Even if you confirm to allow admin access, it will not work this way. But there is a permanent workaround. You need to add your user to the group "Performance Log Users" Here's how:

It's in Spanish, but translated to English underneath.

 

Afterburner is known to cause issues with raceroom for some people. I can't recommend this.
