How can I view my FPS?

Question

On Windows, how would I go about displaying the FPS in Crysis 3?

I found some console commands on this link
Crysis 3: PC Developer Console Commands
pressing ~ doesn't bring up the console on my computer but ` (above the tab key) does

But it doesn't mention how to display FPS.

I found this
Show fps Crysis?

Which says to enter the following

r_DisplayInfo = 1 

But the command doesn't seem to do anything in Crysis 3, when I enter it into the console I get this message

r_DisplayInfo = 1 [DUMPTODISK, RESTRICTEDMODE]

Answer 1

As confirmed by a Crytek Community Manager there is no native way to show a frames per second counter or graph in Crysis 3. Various other sources all recommend using an external utility like MSI Afterburner, EVGA Precision X or FRAPS to display the current frames per second counter, but the possible side effect of running such utility is that it may lower your actual FPS.

Answer 2

I found a way to get the FPS but it's not what I was hoping for. I would prefer to see the FPS in real time.

To see what the FPS is at a given moment

Bring up the console by pressing the ` key. On my keyboard it's the key beneath the escape key and above the tab key.

Enter the following command into the console

r_GetScreenShot 2

A screenshot is taken and the FPS is displayed in the console.

Here is a picture of what it looks like
The FPS is near the bottom of the console in light blue text

I noticed how to do this while watching the following video
