I know this may be a very stupid, primitive question.. but what''s the most optimal way to read your FPS during execution of your DirectX program? It is nice to have the reading with other debug info in the corner while the program''s running.. I can think of maybe one or two ways, but I''m wondering how everyone else does it.

Try this application - its small and works for every DX/OGL application.

Ah, thanks a lot guys, I''ve got a reading up already. I hope it''s the most optimal.. I looked at both those sites, and ended up using something similar to Anonymous Poster''s code..
Great!

And here's mine:

void FPS()
{
static DWORD OldTime;
static int frames;
static int FPS;

frames++;

if( GetTickCount() - OldTime > 1000 )
{
FPS = frames;
frames = 0;
OldTime = GetTickCount();
}

//Here I write the FPS to the screen
}

call that every frame. I do it after all drawing so that it draws the FPS on top of everything
