How To Show FPS in Smite?

In addition to defying a few MOBA norms in a unique way, SMITE is also a real blast that you can play free, unleashing each deity's unique strategies, legendary weapons, and earth-shattering powers. Hi-Rez Studios stated in April 2020 that more than 40 million users play smite. The game can be played on Microsoft Windows, Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Amazon Luna. However, frame rate decreases are solely an issue for PC gamers, so if you are experiencing this and want to keep an eye on your PC's performance, read on to find all the ways you can display the frames-per-second indicator while playing the Smite game.

What is FPS and Why does it matter in Smite?

Your PC's frame rate, expressed in frames per second (fps), indicates how fluidly a particular game runs on it. The more frames you can fit into a second, the smoother the animation on the screen will appear to be. You can make sure you are receiving the greatest performance possible by understanding your frame rate. The frame rate can assist you in determining which visual settings to reduce for the most significant performance gain if your Smite game is running slowly, which you might confuse for network issues as the major reason.

Method 1 - How to display FPS in Smite using game commands (quickest, easiest way)

You can then execute the following commands:

2. Or simply press F8 to toggle the Frames-Per-Second indicator.
