Fraps is a tool that lets you monitor current framerates in a corner of the screen for programs using DirectX or OpenGL technology. It also allows you to easily take screenshots of games, make movies of gameplay, and manually determine the average framerate between two points. I've put up an improved build of Fraps 1.9 that includes a help button for easy access to the FAQ information. There's also a few minor fixes, so I'd recommend everyone upgrades.

The changes for Fraps 1.9D:

Fixes for those encountering long pauses when trying to capture video. Smoother recording for Win2K users. Added help button that launches the FAQ page containing lots of answers to common questions.
