: Notice the framerate displayed here adjusts slowly when the FPS quickly drops from 60 to 6, for example. If the FPS drops very fast, this function will be decreasing to 40, 20, 15, etc, for the next couple seconds until it reaches 6. This delay means it is not as accurate as third party FPS programs, but still functional. Alternatively, no delay is seen when the FPS is increased quickly.
