Very useful tab for letting me how many frames a second I am getting, however there’s a small problem with this. I know for a fact that my graphics card and ram are far more then enough power to play ROBLOX on max settings + forced graphics however I have no idea how much of these frames are actually being dropped because of GPU or CPU usage, it would be very amazing to have a little readout in the summary tab showing percentage how much CPU/GPU roblox is using, it would useful to us dev’s to know if the lag that our players have are from CPU or GPU taxing.

If you press Ctrl + F6 you’ll get a much more detailed view of performance and what’s going into each frame. in addition, once it’s open, press Ctrl+P to stop it so you can analyze where performance hits are,and whether they’re from render (your GPU), or your scripts.
Edit: here’s some pictures

Download a program like MSI afterburner (works for all cards) to see your total GPU usage.
Check Roblox’s CPU usage using task manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
I suggest alt tabbing out of Roblox and see if the FPS goes up to 60. If it does that’s a pretty common issue a lot of people have and its resolved by freshly installing drivers.
Actually if I tab out I drop to 15-30 while tabbed out then go back to what ever I had before when tabbing in. However I know for a fact lag I get in game isn’t rendering based because I’m able to run Planetside 2 on High (without CPU based particles) in a 40-70 player battle and get 40 FPS.
ROBLOX intentionally lowers your FPS when you aren’t focused on the game window. It’s especially prevalent in Studio, but the ROBLOX player does the same thing, in a more minimal way (iirc).
