I was thinking that it's be cool to write a script or an app that could run through all the graphics settings of a game, and report the FPS that's displayed for each specific configuration.

The problem is, I don't know how to figure out what the FPS of a game is.

There must be a way to do it because FRAPS (screen recording software for video games) has managed to provide a generic implementation that works with every game.

It helps to know what language you are using. . . – surfasb Jul 24 '11 at 9:40
It'd probably also help to know more about your hardware and drivers. – slhck♦ Jul 24 '11 at 9:51
Sorry, it seems like I've clearly asked this in the wrong place... The reason I put it in SuperUser is as this is a very smart way of going about setting the graphics settings of a video game that I don't think ordinary users would use! I'm not sure what the problem is with that. I don't mind which language, I'm open to any, but I presume it would have to be in C. I just wondered if anyone would have any idea how you could go about this. – James Bedford Jul 24 '11 at 23:35
