How to display Max Payne FPS?

Is there a command line option to make the game Max Payne display the frames per second onscreen?

Thanks in advance.

Create a shortcut to Max Payne on your desktop, right-click on it, then add "-developer" to the
end of the target file name.
Then double click the shortcut, when in the game,press F12 and type "ShowFPS".

i suggest downloading fraps (www.fraps.com)
it can show the fps for all games you own and it works great
(i use it for gta3)..and its a really quick download for all the 56k modems out there...

I've tried it and you are right, it's not working, I don't know why, maybe I need a patch or something, but another way to display FPS (I got from this page) is working:
Create a shortcut to Max Payne on your desktop, right-click on it, then add "-developerkeys" to the
end of the target file name.
Start the game and press F11, and FPS rate will appear.
