I have an Qt based OpenGLES2.0 application, where I want to capture the FPS.

my application draw same geometry for 16 times and then try to know the FPS.

How can I make sure glDrawElements() has finished its job ?

I want to get the correct FPS.

Is there any way to make the glDrawElements() synchronous or Pooling the glDrawElements()
complete?

Do you intend to draw an animation? How do you update the scene? Can you show us some code (minimal
working example)? – Lukáš Bednařík Mar 21, 2016 at 11:41

1. define a Timer object in application window/widget class. QTime frameTime;

2. Start the timer in initializeGL. frameTime.start();

3. in PaintGL

paintGL ()
{
draw_your_geometry();

++frameCount;

if (frameTime.elapsed() >= 1000)


{

double fps = frameCount / ((double)frameTime.elapsed()/1000.0);
