    the 65.3 is your frames per second at that time and i think the 14.0 is the time in milliseconds between the frames, not sure on the second one though.

        Anything over 30FPS looks good to me.

          isn't that a bit redundant though? are you sure that is it?

          to be honest, i can't recall seeing a second number, it always sits at 0... meh, could be wrong.

            nope im not positive but thats always what i thought it was, anyway if you have a monster system the second number will always be low if not 0 as you will probably have a very high fps.

            thats if what im saying is right....

              I think the 2 numbers you see are current FPS and average FPS.

              I have also read that the second number is time between frames in ms on a few websites which makes absolutely no sense mathematically.

              If he is getting 65 frames per 1 second, that means 65 frames per 1000 ms so how do you figure there are 14 ms between each frame?

                the FIRST number is your FPS... the SECOND number is the % of CPU USAGE

                  ok...heres my belief...

                  65 is his fps...(theres a big diff so i think u can tell) and 14 + 65 is his monitor speed which is about 80hz i think..so 14 is how many more fps he can have with vsync on or soemthing ... ppl who get like 110 fps are actually only seeing 75 cuz thats how much their monitor usually pushes out

                  my reasoning...my two numbers always add up to 60...my montior refresh rate

                    I think BF2 has a 100fps cap.

                        I am always laughing at all the WRONG answers people post in this forum
                        well - at least you try
                        but if you are not SURE - please say so
                        anyway -
                        1st # IS fps and 65 is GREAT
                        2nd # is ms between frames (sort of reduntant/meaningless)
                        has NOTHING to do with monitor refresh rate or CPU usage

                            well - actually not even a remote possiblity
                            I often get fps over 100 and my monitor is locked at 60
                            (LCD with digital interface)
                            and I can EASILY tell difference between 60, 70, 80, 90 fps
                            when flying and turning
                            not much difference when driving straight or on foot

                              Yes, first number is frame rate, second is CPU usage

                              or thats what I read somewhere.
