iam now lvl 8 (playing for 3 days) and saw many videos/ streams from proplayers that use a lower setting of the grafic …
do this help in this game? i mean i can play this game at constandly 50-60fps with my potato-pc on max grafic settings…
is there any benefti from playing on LOW settings? i think so , would be cool if someone can tell me why ^^
Yes. You don’t get any FPS drops and the game plays a lot better. It’s quite easier to do well on a potato config than it is to play this game at Max Settings with iffy performance. Even my CPU and GPU which are mid-high range get constant dips into the 20FPS range for seemingly no reason at all. I usually can play the game maxed out at 60FPS, but it dips frequently. That is probably why they use the potato configs. It’s the same for a lot of games. People who do well in Planetside 2? They turn off all the amazingly cool settings like motion blur or bloom to make sure they can play at their best performance level.
okay, ill do the same till now xD, the fps drops are so annoying, when u try to pump an jumping sparks-.-
nothing wrong with using a low setting config so long as there are some protected values that are agreed upon as been set within a mandatory field- an example i think from ET qw was M_pitch tho there were a few others that tbh i cant recall being as it was years ago
Potato settings are used like whitewall hacks in CS. People get an advantage out of them. Low-res structures, better visible enemies. Simple legal hacks. “but muh 200FPS” Ye sure, you need 200 FPS when your eye don’t see a difference over 60+ FPS.
hate to tell you, but with my 144hz monitor, i can def see a difference between 60 and 100+ fps. It’s pretty huge once you get used to 144hz, especially with a shooter game. Not so much with MOBAs like dota, though.
Because they lied about system specs, I imagine most people here are running an older computer with a 2.5 to 3 ghz processor and a 1 gb video card.
Which might be enough for tf2 and cs go, but not this game. They def lied about the minimum specs.
And frame rate depends on your monitor’s refresh rate. If you have 60 that’s all you’ll see, if you have 144 tho…different story.
You’ve spouted that BS before, and I thought you were trolling, or having a giggle, but I’m starting to think you’re serious.

Show me then why you think I’m wrong. And not some video with slomo, but actual Dirty Bomb gameplay at 60 or120+ FPS.
Your argument holds weight even if I disagree with it. But once you said “your eye don’t see a difference over 60+ FPS”, you lost all credibility. First of all you said + with no limitation, so yes, you are correct, your eye doesn’t see a difference over infinite FPS. If you however meant 60fps you are so, so wrong. Try playing with 144hz and then going back and tell me you can’t tell.
Admittedly some people can see it more than others.
Also more FPS affects things more than just what you can see, it has to do with input lag as well.

All you need are regular brains & eyes, a 120Hz monitor and a game running at 120FPS, to see it yourself.
You want someone to show you gameplay at a refresh rate above which your monitor can handle as proof? Alrighty then.

Have one. And can run the game on high settings. Don’t need low textures to spot enemies faster.
Its kind of like why people like buying expensive mousepads. They think it gives them a slight edge, but it doesn’t.
I have an I7 3770k and on Low Settings without editing my config I get 200+ FPS. Sure it will drop to 120-150 for moments, but so will theirs on their “potato settings”.
120-150 frames per second is beyond playable.
Now as wether it gives you better visibility, depends what you get used to. Practice makes perfect on any setting.

Then you say you have a 120 hz monitor, so with that said, either your eyes need to be checked because you don’t notice a difference between 60 hz and 120 hz in your monitor. Or, you don’t have it, and you’re saying anything at this point to make your opinion seem valid.
Either way, we are’t buying it.
People mess with the configs because it does help to a degree, but when the fps tanks when there’s a lot going on. It’s because the CPU can’t keep up with everything that’s going on, and that’s something that can only be fixed with overclocking, or just getting a new rig.

60 hz [/quote]
Huh? But insulting me. Yup, you’re great.
@MissMurder why isn’t the report button working?
going from a 60 to 120Hz monitor was the best thing ive done for FPS gaming in a while - u can see the difference and those extra frames does help competitively
[quote=“laudatoryLunch;39455”][quote=“Watsyurdeal;39451”]
Do you even understand how frame rates work?
60 hz = 60 fps, that’s exactly how much you’ll see because that’s the highest possible amount of frames your monitor can render.
So 120 frames on a 60 hz monitor…yea, no difference. But, 60 frames on a 120 hz monitor, big difference, the game will look choppier than normal.
