Programs for........

What's the best program to use to show the FPS while gaming?
Also the temps of your machine/hardware ?

FRAPS can be used to show FPS whilst gaming, though some games have their own FPS counters anyways.

I tend to use CoreTemp and GPU-Z for temperature monitoring if I feel the need.

You can use something like HWMonitor from CPUID to get reasonable numbers on temps etc. http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html

There are loads of good software suggestions here (for many other things): https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?3318-Free-Software-Recommendations

I use MSI Afterburner to display FPS and GPU temps while gaming.

Whilst FRAPs can be used to measure FPS in games it does have a resource cost and can hamper your performence. If you have a Nvidia card, you can use ShadowPlay.

ShadowPlay only works in Nvidia 6 series and higher. Shame as I wanted to use it on my 580

programmes like Fraps will display FPS, but also tend to lower frame rates so isn't really a true reflection. As already mentioned games like Battlefield have a command which can be entered into the console to display FPS.

If it looks good and plays smooth, who cares?

Same as Rakk, i use fraps (quite handy as i can also record if i need too) i still get 80-120+ fps steady on bf4 on ultra with this, and i use GPU-Z(I think 1 of you guys told me it was good ) Does shadowplay show FPS? i did have a mess around with it but found fraps easier!
