Do a Frame Rate Test

To perform a frame rate test / or an FPS test, follow these steps:

1. ⚡ Make sure your screen is at its maximum resolution and refresh rate

We recommend that you set your screen to its maximum resolution and refresh rate before running our Frame Rate Test. This will make sure that your screen is functioning at its peak performance during the FPS test.

2. 🚀 Click on the button above

You will be taken to our online Frame Rate Test tool. You will be able to witness your screen working at its current maximum refresh rate (depending on your settings), and see two moving rectangles from left to right.

3. 🎛️ Play with the settings and appreciate your screen's fluidity

Play with the color, size and speed settings and check whether your screen's FPS is on par with what you expect it to be.

What is Frame Rate?

A screen's frame rate refers to the number of individual images, or "frames", that are displayed on the screen every second. It is therefore measured in frames per second (FPS). For instance, if a screen has a frame rate of 60 FPS, it means that 60 separate images are shown each second to create the appearance of motion. A higher frame rate generally results in smoother motion and better video quality. It's like flipping through a stack of photos quickly to make it look like the images are moving. A high frame rate is especially important when watching an action movie or playing a competitive video game. Read our article on what frame rate is for further explanations on how screens work.

What does FPS mean?

FPS stands for "Frames Per Second." It thus refers to how many individual images (frames) are displayed every second in a video or animation. Higher FPS usually means smoother motion, because more images are shown per second, making the movement look more fluid. For example, a video with 60 FPS will generally appear smoother than one with 30 FPS.

How does our Frame Rate Test work?

Our online Frame Rate Testing tool will display two rectangles moving from the left to the right hand side of your screen. You will be able to adjust a variety of settings such as the color of the rectangles, their spacing, their height, their width or even the speed at which they are moving. You will also be able to diminish your screen refresh rate to appreciate better the fluidity of your display at its maximum FPS speed.

We will also display some relevant information about your screen such as its current resolution, its current frames per second / refresh rate as well as the current refresh rate of our testing tool, depending on your settings.
