How to do it with the game's inbuilt code... That is from the game console...

What games? You can't expect us to be mind readers you know.

Ouch, what do you have for a computer?

Fraps

that probably doesn't mean much to him.

Fraps is a program that you runs while you play your game and displays your FPS in the corner of the screen.

Linkage

I don't use it myself but alot of ppl around here do.

How could it not mean much to him? It allows any game to show the fps values. That is, you don't need to do the console specific command. And I, along with most probably, find fraps to be very accurate. Hardocp uses it as well. If you're looking for console specific commands, here are some:


Raven Shield - pull down console, type fps

Unreal Tournament 2004 - pull down console, type stat fps

Quake 3 - pull down console, type cg_drawfps 1 (works for other opengl games also)

I'd personally just use fraps.

If you mean benchmarks, then some good ones are Aquamark 3, 3dmark01-05, Quake 3, etc

You didn't provide him enough details
