fps
Video playback speed
FPS is an abbreviation with two common meanings in different contexts.
In gaming, it stands for first-person shooter—a genre where players view the action through the protagonist's eyes: I've been playing a lot of FPS games lately.
In video and computing, it means frames per second, measuring how smoothly motion displays: The game runs at 60 fps.
Higher fps means smoother visuals.
