what is the Quake command for enable the FPS counter?

There is no FPS counter to enable, per se.

You can, however, run demo map with *average* framerate counting enabled (total number of frames rendered / time in seconds).

To do so use TIMEDEMO command. It must be given the map name as argument. There are 3 demo maps to time. Traditionally demo2 is considered the standard for comparing framerates.

Type this in console to calculate the average framerate of demo2:
Code: [Select]

timedemo demo2


Timerefresh is useless for benchmarks as the result greatly varies depending on the position of the player and the direction the player looks at.
