Hi all,
Does anyone know how do you check the FPS in games on Steam for OS X? Been looking around on the internet and can't find anything other than people posting what FPS there getting.
Thanks for any help

It usually depends on the game you are playing. If the games are Source based like Portal, TF2 etc - then you have to go to settings -> enable the console. You can push the ~ to bring up the console. Type in the command
for realtime
cl_showfps 1
for average
cl_showfps 2
