    Not sure why, but FRAPS is not showing the FPS on my games on real time (I tried most of the options).
    So, any suggestion of another software to see the FPS during gaming?

    It is real time, it just rounds to the nearest whole number. What makes you think it isn't "real time"?

    FRAPS is about the only decent one around, unless your game supports its own FPS counter.

    There is an option under "FPS" that you may have checked accidentally "Only update overlay once a second".

    Ok, I don't know if it is real time. What I mean is I CANNOT SEE THE NUMBERS while gaming.

    ATI Tray Tools. It's what I use to monitor FPS, temps, and clocks

    Try hitting the "F12" key.

    Take a screen shot of the screen I have done as you have it now, and post it here.

    I use in game counters, they're usually most accurate.
    What games do you play? Almost all have a console command to show them.
