Nice utility to display fps in DirectX Games

[Nuno]

For all the fps junkies out there that suffer when a game/demo doesn´t have a timedemo/benchmark/display frame rate setting...

And guess what, it works... I don´t know if it´s really something that you don´t know, bit I find it amusing...

Actually it slows down the framerate if running... What is very interesting because the programer states that it should have a performance impact lesser than 2%.

I'm getting a much bigger performance hit than 2%. What should I do?

Update your video card drivers to the latest version. It seems that certain early drivers on some chipsets are very slow in performing the simple Blit operation used to copy the framerate counter over the game screen.

It seems that the G400 drivers still could use a little work
