Knowing your frames-per-second (FPS) in a fast-paced shooter like Battlefield 6 is super important. A smooth framerate can be the difference between winning and losing a gunfight. If your game is stuttering, you'll want to know so you can adjust your settings for better performance. I remember playing the Battlefield 6 beta and struggling with some lag. As soon as I turned on the FPS counter, I saw that my frames were dropping way too low in big explosions. After turning down my graphics settings a little, my FPS was stable and I was back to winning matches.

So, how do you see your FPS in Battlefield 6? The easiest way is to use a simple console command. Just open the console by pressing the tilde key (~), which is usually located right below the Esc key on your keyboard. Then, type in PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1 and press Enter. A small FPS counter will then appear in the corner of your screen. To turn it off, just type PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0 in the console.

Other Ways to Show FPS in Battlefield 6

While the in-game console command is the quickest way to see your FPS, there are a few other methods you can use.

• Steam Overlay: If you're playing Battlefield 6 on Steam, you can use the platform's built-in FPS counter. To turn it on, go to your Steam settings, click on "In-Game," and then you'll see an option for the in-game FPS counter. You can choose which corner of the screen you want it to appear in and even enable a high-contrast color option to make it easier to see.
• Third-Party Software: There are also many third-party programs that can display your FPS, such as FRAPS or MSI Afterburner. These programs often have more features than the in-game or Steam counters, like the ability to record your gameplay or monitor your computer's hardware. I used to use FRAPS all the time, but now I find that the in-game options are usually good enough for what I need.

No matter which method you choose, keeping an eye on your FPS is a good habit to get into. It will help you optimize your game's settings for the best possible performance, which is especially important when you are trying to improve your gameplay.
