Is there a way of enabling an FPS counter? this is gonna sound weird, but i just like cranking the settings, loading up a map with 150 racers and seeing if my CPU can handle it lol.
nvidia has a resource monitor built into it's drivers if you're using their graphics cards. hit Alt+Z to open up the overlay and press performance for the settings, and Alt+R opens the little monitor overlay itself. Other than that there should be other programs you can use, but I don't know about them.
