com_maxfps 144 works like com_maxfps 166, why?


(Aldo87) #1

Hi,

so, i tried com_maxfps 144 because i have a 144 Hz monitor and i wanna see all possible fps, but i get 166 fps, instead of 144 with com_maxfps 144. Just wondering why?

If your PC cant handle 166FPS then try 142FPS.

The engine works like this

1000/2 = 500
1000/3 = ~333
1000/4 = 250
1000/5 = 200
1000/6 = ~166
1000/7 = ~142
1000/8 = 125
1000/9 = ~111
1000/10 = 100
1000/11 = ~90
1000/12 = ~83
1000/13 = ~76
1000/14 = ~71
1000/15 = ~66
1000/16 = ~62
1000/17 = ~58
1000/18 = ~55

etc

Anyways, it’s better to set it to one of the ‘magical’ values - 43/76/125/333 because of the Q3 engine bug.
