Displaying your frames per second in Dragon Age helps to optimize your video settings. These directions describe how to display fps in Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II.
We have previously benchmarked and described the various graphics settings for Dragon Age II. In following these directions, many people have asked me how to enable the display of FPS.
First, open your finder to the appropriate config file. Your will replace username will your actual username.
Dragon Age II for Mac:
Users/username/Library/Application Support/Dragon Age II/config

/Users/username/Preferences/Dragon Age Origins/Preferences/config
Open the config file in textedit by right-clicking on the file and select Open With -> TextEdit.app
In Dragon Age II change all values of “ShowFPS” to “Y”.

Save the file and exit TextEdit.
