How can I display my framerate while playing games?

When I'm playing games such as Crysis, Crysis Warhead, STALKER Clear Sky, Far Cry 2, Battlefield 2, as well as others. Is there any way to display my frame rate in-game? Do I have to download a program for this? I heard that FRAPS displays your FPS during game play, but actually takes a lot out of your system, and actually cuts your FPS almost in half.

Is there anything I can type into the console which would show me my FPS?

For Crysis; "r_DisplayInfo = 1" and "r_DisplayInfo = 0"
Stalker; "rs_stats on" and "rs_stats off"
FarCry2; "ShowFPS 1" and "ShowFPS 0"
Battlefield2; "renderer.drawfps 1" and "renderer.drawfps 0"

You're right about FRAPS using quite a bit of resources. That's why it's not a good idea to use it to compare with other systems out there. It's decent at noting before-and-after changes to your system though.

Thank you!
