A new version of the FRAPS benchmark utility is now available. The program is designed as a generic tool to monitor framerates in DirectX games. The name itself is derived from the term Frames Per Second (FPS) which is what the program displays in the corner of the game's screen. It measures the framerate by monitoring calls to flip the screen at the end of each render. New for version 1.5:

Windows XP support.
DirectX 8 support (Both windowed and full screen applications).
Min/Max framerates now recorded in manual benchmarking logs.
Fraps now packaged in an installer (thanks to Nullsoft NSIS!)

The following features create files in your installation directory:
MANUAL BENCHMARK - Press SCROLL LOCK to start/stop logging to FRAPSLOG.TXT

SCREEN CAPTURE - Press NUM LOCK to dump the current game screen as a BMP
