Stupid question, where do I find what FPS I'm running. I just installed the ATI x850xt with the 5.8 cat and jumped the ram to 1.5 gigs. I want to monitor the fps as I adjust the settings and see what causes the drop if there is one. Right now I am running on all high's with the AA off. With this setup I went online and ran smooth as hell. What is the AA anyways ? thanks for the help in advance.

Re: where's the FPS
Open the console (~ key), and type:
renderer.drawfps 1
The first number is your fps, the second number I believe is the time between frames in ms. Its basically just 1000/FPS. Ive heard that that is your processor usage but I really doubt thats true. Just take your fps and divide 1000 by it and it should be close to that second number.
AA (Anti-Aliasing) Smoothes the edges of rough borders. If you look closely at like the edge of a wall with it off it looks a little bit jagged. AA smooths it out so it looks like a solid line instead. The higher the AA (2x, 4x...) the smoother it will look. -

Re: where's the FPS
To find out your FPS, open your console by pressing 0, then type renderer.drawfps 1.
AA stands for anti aliasing, which -to put it simple - sharpens the image you see on your monitor. If you turn it on, you will see less blocky images at the cost of some GPU performance.
