In Archicad, How can I view the realtime FPS of the 3D viewport ?

William Yan — Tue, 17 Jan 2023 16:16:13 GMT

Hi guys, I am testing the 3D viewport feedback speed of my different pln files. I want to see the FPS of the 3D viewport when I orbit. Can I do that? Or using what software can I achieve this? Thanks!

FRAPs might work. I remember it showing up in the OpenGL rendered viewports of some programs that I was using during uni, though I don't remember what those were.... I have long since stopped using it as NVIDIA's GeForce and Shadowplay do everything better... If you have GeForce Experence installed, the stats overlay might work (alt + R), though I believe it will be of your entire screen rather than just the viewport.

Thank you Ling. I tried FRAPs. But it didn't work. I am using a laptop with no videocard.😂

Oh? AC with the onboard, or is your laptop using some sort of hybrid CPU / GPU? All of the 3rd party programs that I know that can display FPS are based on the GPU output...

Archicad will not like you very much.

It really wants a separate dedicated video card.

Be sure to mention this if you have any support questions here, as that will often be the problem.
