seta I_want_lower_fps "125"

(Zakk Sayonara) #1

Maybe this guestion is there smwhr already…

but how to cap fps? com_maxfps doesnt work. My gfx cards run very hot bcs of ridiculous high fps which i want lower. If Im reducing graphics ofc fps climbs even higher so it reduces heat about 3-5 C. So is there way to cap fps?

I’d like to know this too. My fps fluctuates quite a bit, it would be nice to keep it a bit steadier.

Just enable vsync, then it’s capped to your refresh of your monitor. Not exactly the same as what you’re after, but should do the job. Personally, I don’t know how anyone prefers vsync off…

(MrLevi) #4

I can’t stand vsync, otherwise I might.

(General_Zod) #5

Just curious, why do you prefer tearing? Such an eye sore.

(Wepohn) #6

Having v-sync enabled can make the mouse less responsive.

(MrLevi) #7

This. I’ve either never had or never been able to notice tearing. I DO notice when my aim gets messed up though. :slight_smile:

vsync + tripple buffering = no delay… but I guess polling rate has something to do with that delay. I mean when I used Intellimouse Explorer, which is 125 Hz optical mouse, the delay was notizeable even if tripplebuffering was on. With 1000 Hz polling rate (laser mouse) I dont see any delay. Thanks for that Zod. I notized the game runs even smoother now when no fps varying.

Hi zakk, please tell me you have an ATI card.
That would make my day.

is it possible to fix FPS to 90 or 60 for example?

Why? Shouldn’t ATI cards run over 120fps? My hd4850 gets 90-120fps and it’s an old&slow card so surely someone gets even more.

Bring back com_maxfps .

bump

also stop suggesting vsync, fps caps have been a staple feature in fps’s forever for a reason

My graphic card will burn if someone not fix com_maxfps…

I agree, i’m a fan of options, the more options the better. But some people may not be aware that vsync is a viable way to limit your FPS. So it’s still a valid suggestion, even if temporary.

(eLuSiVeMiTe) #16

Having to use vsync at the moment due to uncapped fps too.
Get higher temps in the menus than I do in game.

(raib) #17

It’s better than nothing, but should be only a temporary fix until fps can be capped. Vsync causes some considerable mouse lag.

Also game still runs like **** on ati cards

Are you getting those FPS in Brink and if so, How because I don’t think I am getting that with every thing turned down and I have a 4850 1gb x 4850 1gb

Can’t wait for Crossfire support…

Hi there. Sry I have an nVidia:) GTX570 SLI. Sometimes fps were over 630 and even if fans were running at 4170 rpm the temps were over 95 C. Now with vsync+tripple buffering the game rly runs great and pretty smooth at 120 fps, and cooler, oh and mouse movements are as perfect as without vsync. Now temps stays a bit under 60 C. Talking about that possible overheating I rly rly wondering why didnt they think about that when they worked on the game. Capping fps is MUST option.

(crazyfoolish) #20

Yeah me too. Anyone know why that is. I haven’t even checked my fps yet. I’m guessing about 40 :(. I just have a 560.
