AI Thread Summary
In gaming, displaying frame rates (FPS) can enhance performance monitoring. Programs like FRAPS can show FPS but may significantly reduce system performance. For specific games, console commands can be used to display FPS without the resource drain associated with FRAPS. For example, in Crysis, the command "r_DisplayInfo = 1" activates FPS display, while "r_DisplayInfo = 0" deactivates it. Similar commands exist for STALKER, Far Cry 2, and Battlefield 2. Users have reported varying FPS based on graphical settings, such as sun shadows in STALKER Clear Sky, which can drastically affect performance. Adjusting settings like anti-aliasing may still yield good FPS, depending on the game's demands.

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?
 
Computer science news on Phys.org
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!
 
Those console commands did work. With sun shadows turned off, I get 45-90 FPS in STALKER Clear Sky. With sun shadows turned on, my FPS goes haywire. Could I maybe turn on some AA and still get good frames?
 
you can do it but its depend that which type of http://www.funrocker.com/games/computer-games.html" you playing if your are playing some 3D game than no issue otherwise i think there will be some problem.

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
