PC Fraps Numbers Barely Visible

I like to have FRAPS visible during play, but the numbers are so small that I have to reach for a magnifying glass to read them comfortably. Is there a way to make them appear larger?

 

Which method did you use to display them? I enabled FPS using Steam, not the game itself. With Steam they are in the upper left corner and show up well.

 

Press F3?

 

The numbers being really small would most likely be due to your resolution being high and Windows having poor scaling. If you are using FRAPS specifically to display FPS I would also suggest you use something like GeForce Now (if you have an NVIDIA GPU) or Riva Tuner which allows you to view loads of info as well as customise typeface and size. Also as someone stated you can press F3 to bring up FPS in engine or use the steam overlay although the font is quite small for both these options. Hope this helps.

 

That sounds good, Sharon (using Steam to display FPS), but how does one activate it?

 

That's exactly what I'm doing.

 

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here with a link: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/38204019/view/3383910456274352374

 

Thanks!!! Once I get Steam out of Big Picture Mode, I'll give this a try.

 

It looks like I'll never do away with BPM, but I do thank Sharon and Hyperlord for telling me how to activate the Steam FPS counter with hi-resolution numbers.
