Minimum fps?

by crook • 16 Dec 2008, 22:26 • Journals
What is the minimum fps u guys need to play good?

Ive been constantly changing settings lately. But im guessing its kinda useless since my fps goes between 10 and 45... usually 25 in 1o1's with huge spikes and drops.

So is it just me or is that unplayable?

125. I can't use monitors with a lower Hz than 100, because the flickering gives me headaches and makes my eyes burn... Seriously, if I had an average of 25 FPS, I'd stop playing.

crook 16 Dec 2008, 22:32
ye thats what im contemplating... perhaps id save for a new pc and stop playing ET

used to play with ~50 fps and like 20 in goldrush/radar, if i try that now, my eyes bleed



edit: wait, how the hell can you get such low fps with a computer like that, i managed to get 50 with geforce 2, 256 ram and pentium 3

crook 16 Dec 2008, 23:15
i have no clue. I remember having atleast 76 stable some time ago. Im gonna try a format, but im afraid its not gonna do much good since my pc is like 6years old and made out of second hand stuff combined with some things i bought myself.

Deactivated6096 16 Dec 2008, 23:18
hmmmm, i guess the problem is pb, i used to have 125 fps stable all the time, now it jumps from 70-100 or so
Parent
▼
crook 16 Dec 2008, 23:19
still u can cap it at 70 :(
I dont even get 40 stable: (
Parent
▼
Deactivated6096 16 Dec 2008, 23:25
i have it capped at 101, as that gives the least maxpackets if you cap your maxpackets at 100 :D
Parent

Puubuu 16 Dec 2008, 23:22

Parent

cuttyP 16 Dec 2008, 22:38
i can't spot the difference on everything higher than 71. On a tft that is
▼
Spirea 16 Dec 2008, 22:39
71 would be nice (also less recoil for pistol and sniper). I used to play with unstable 43 when I started playing ET. That worked on laggy publics but wouldn't say it's "good" to play with it
▼
caej 16 Dec 2008, 22:42
he has 125 fps, he is just an attentionwhore
▼
crook 16 Dec 2008, 22:44

Parent

loazis 16 Dec 2008, 22:46
I don't even know, I think I got 71 or 76. Could be 125 though :P But 125 tends to be unstable on maps like goldrush with me, so don't know.
▼
NzZ 16 Dec 2008, 22:47
wtf 125
▼
ED 16 Dec 2008, 22:49
r_mode 3 is the secret key , or mine cfg.
▼
quebratolas 16 Dec 2008, 22:53
70 but 76 is nice for et
▼
NzZ 16 Dec 2008, 22:54

i heard silent's cfg is pretty good for a fps boost...but i cant find it
▼
GreenClon 16 Dec 2008, 23:31
43 - ok (as i remember, tv has around 30)
60 - good
76 - very good
125 - useless - your monitor will be never able to handle with it (CRT's have about 80 fps max on low resolution)

nuMbe 17 Dec 2008, 10:57

43 - ok (as i remember, tv has around 30)
I ment this :) Why would it matter that tv has around 30 fps :o
I'm cool too, going to buy a new laptop soon. Haven't played ET since my old pc, (this one) started to be shitty. This one is full of viruses and a fucking slow :) Really old one.
Glad to hear you'r ok ;) Keep it up lagger. (if i remember right)
Parent

GreenClon 17 Dec 2008, 19:56
well,u remember fucking good :D my internet + pc is shit too :P
anyway,if you have lot of viruses on it,try to reinstall windows / install antivirus xD
new laptop? wow,i'd like one too :) but I just hope i will get iPod from "baby jezus" :D
and that about tv.. tv is fluent without lagging with just 30 fps..

i played like 2 years with ~ 70---

after buying new pc i got a skillboost cuz everything was easier with 125 fps
▼
Demz0r 17 Dec 2008, 00:18
I used to play with 43 with my old pc about 1 year ago, then at first i used 125 with new pc but now it's down to unstable 76. 43 was playable at that time, but now stable 76 is what i would need.
▼
fabuloz 17 Dec 2008, 00:36
constant 100.
▼
lettu 17 Dec 2008, 00:48
when it goes under 60 its annoying
▼
crook 17 Dec 2008, 00:59
so i guess its normal i hardly hit shit lately? :(
Parent
▼
daisy 17 Dec 2008, 01:19
I wouldn't even play this game if I had under 60 fps :>
Parent
▼
woot 17 Dec 2008, 01:38
for me amount of fps doesn't bother that much, it just has to be fucking stable

cause aiming with constant fps changes is even more impossible for me
▼
SlimShady 17 Dec 2008, 02:03
i once had stable 125fps but now i play with 30-60 and im better than carniee =)
▼
SpeaKeR 17 Dec 2008, 02:39
32+is smooth gaming, unfortunately i play with 23+ which is a tad annoying
▼
crook 17 Dec 2008, 15:19
it would be doable, but since u cant cap it under 40fps it isnt :(
Parent
▼
Vanhaomena 17 Dec 2008, 06:39
166 or 250+ with this monitor.
▼
fredd 17 Dec 2008, 08:23
