Hi Ace,

It depends on the game. For example to turn FPS status on/off
in Halo you just need to press CTRL+F12. I hope that helps!

Hi Ace,

Do you have any software running that would cause this?
FRAPS for example will display your FPS onscreen.

Hi Ace,

Sounds like those drivers you downloaded included an application
which is running in the background to show you your FPS then..
