fps for a noob

by syndicate • 21 Nov 2010, 16:21 • Journals
i use 125, its fluently and good, but why is it jerking a lot with 76? 43 fps are not even possible to play with.
i use 800 * 600.
still i have the problem that i can track enemies, i aim on them pretty good but cannot hit em. tried shooting only bodies and no heads, no chance, totally lagging. the problem is not my aim... :( some graphic card issue (radeon x1600 or 1650)? and dont tell me its wlan....! cant be...? :|
i dont get that problem so much when using 76 fps, but hell, its bucking. :(

use the same amount as your monitor's hz = insta win

syndicate 21 Nov 2010, 16:24
60hz :DDD

it makes sens for every fps game probably, but not for a quake engine based shooter afaik.

It does make sense for Quake engine... just not when you have LCD.

if your screen does 60 hz 125 fps will be smoother.
if your screen does 75hz 76fps will be smoother, 125fps will be faster.

are you sure you monitor doesnt do 75hz? My monitor doesnt do 60hz in native resolution (r_mode -1 1650x1080) but it does do 75hz when i use r_mode 4 6 8 etc

and I also bought some ATI card and my fps never made it back to 125fps. I never should have changed from nvidia => ati. My old gt8600 ran 125fps perfectly. Now with this HD5750 i had to change it to 76fps to keep it stable ...

56 ~ 76 Hz it says haha i thought its 60 because a friend told me its always running on 60 Hz here. its a really crap LCD (Benq T906) though and i never thought i need something better actually.... for ET it should be enough i thought haha
anyways, pretty confusing now with all these different information ppl giving here.... ^^

concerning knowledge about tweaking cfg or aiming? because i think aiming is not the big problem? i am no super aimer on very high level of course.. but still! dunno what the problem is.... :|

because if you play a lot with 125 fps your eyes get trained and you will notice lower fps-amounts.
btw use Hz>FPS

played 76 a lot 3 years ago, was no problem. couldnt even reach 125 back then... even 43 worked although it had some cracky moments.

same here ;9
first time i played et competitive in like 2004/2005
i played with a Duron @900 MHz + Mx440 + 256 SD-RAM
didnt even know about FPS back then i guess it would be something like 30-40

jerking with 76? not at all,lol

HugTheSub 21 Nov 2010, 16:41
pretty much everthing you say doesnt make sense.
76fps is not jerky.
wlan does suck.
all this fps-stuff does not rly do that much, its important that it runs smoothly.
i think ur either using a crap cfg or its simply imagination.
▼
syndicate 21 Nov 2010, 16:43
then explain why 76 fps is jerky as shit? its not imagination :DD
i dont really know too much about all that stuff to say why it is jerky, i just see and know it IS. any reason it could be?

everything >24fp/sec is seen as a motionpicture/film/... to the human eye.
so if 76fps run smoothly there is no physical way it can be jerky.
if however your PC struggels to run 76fps smoothly while 125 are stable thats a problem of your hard- or software setup that i can not explain cause thats unique for your system.

ah yes ofc man, but i am not talking about human eye / fps. thats right what you say, but then you misunderstood my question. ofc its my system that has some bug somewhere, but tried to get a hint to solve that.

a friend of mine increased his FPS by increasing his resolutin. sounds weird i know but afterall ET wasnt made for the power our PCs have nowadays. try that
Parent

syndicate 21 Nov 2010, 17:01
ahhh holy crap i didnt think about using other resolution. thought 800 * 600 is so standard it should cover all stuff in pretty decent average quality. :D
btw, since i use a quadcore i noticed that all these problems got worse......
so maybe i must stop gaming: i dont play anything else than ET :DDDDD (:((()

try to assign the process to a single core.

e: if you use a nvidia card setup a profile for ET in the control centre and force mutlithreading OFF.
