MSI Gaming app showing over 3000 FPS in games?

Solution
I am not sure I quite understand what you mean... You do need NVIDIA GeForce Experience in order to use Shadowplay. When you enable Shadowplay and it's FPS counter, just launch any game you want and it should work without a problem. If you are playing Borderless Fullscreen, then enable Desktop Capture (you can see it on the screenshot).


Not the case for me it does this always so im not sure about my realtime FPS ingames atm, i've had this in windows 7 with gaming app 5 and now in windows 10 gaming app 6 the same issue.

 

Why don't you try some other software then? If you have an NVIDIA's card, turn on Shadowplay (you don't have to record, just enable it) and set it to show FPS on screen.

Or get MSI Afterburner - a very popular program that shows you real time FPS, CPU/GPU usage, clock etc.
 


So, what you're saying is that nvidia shadow play is showing FPS meter in games, with recording disabled off?
Also, i wasn't aware of MSI Afterburner showing FPS? i mean i know FRAPS but IMO thats just a shit program.
 

Yes, you don't have to record with Shadowplay in order for it to show you FPS. Just enable it and also enable FPS counter. Here's a screenshot.

As for Afterburner - yeah, but not exactly. During the installation of the Afterburner you also install Rivatuner Statistic Server. It is thanks to RTSS that Afterburner is able to show you so many information on your screen. Example.
 


I guess in order to make FPS counter in shadow play (NVIDIA) work you need to boot the game through NVIDIA right?
