what will be my new fps in cs?

[Brian Fellow]

I just purchased a VisionTek GeForce2 MX 400 64MB with pci slot(wont get it until couple of days). My old card was a intel graphics controller 82810E with 4 mb video. I am getting 20 fps right now and was wondering what u think my new fps will be.

I would think you can run 3 times what you ran before for fps. It all depends on your settings. PS welcome to the forums.

even with some AA and ansio filtering, youll prolly hit like 50fps.
its much better to play with a lower frame rate and the settings on the card up IMHO. have fun fragging

let us no what u get thinking about replacing my Voodoo 5500 PCI for a geforce, i only usually get 30-40 fps on that

 

[Malakai]

Thanks for the help guys.
Ill let you guys know what i get when it comes in the mail.

with my setup i get 240+ FPS. to see your FPS type in the console

timerefresh


that will show you your FPS, take a note now with the intel graphics and do one later with the GF2 to see your real
performance gain.

Thnx starfox,
I tried the timerefresh and i got 57 fps, and i also did cl_showfps and it showed 30 fps. Can you tell me whats the diffrence between the 2.

 

[Malakai]

um, the half-life engine cant do more than 99fps, even if u type fps_max 200. its a game engine limit. im always at 99 with all settings maxed

nope it does a max of 100.0 at least thats what my net graph always says, wether it does it or is just rounding is another story... but i got the screenies to prove it if you want me to

 

[CSaddict]

Malakai is right if you set the max fps over 100 it will only max out at 99. mine stays pinned at 99.

 

[Brian Fellow]

So when you do timerefresh in the console, what does that number mean compared to cl_showfps?

btw my card still hasnt been shipped yet. The people at
comp-u-plus have the week off.

 

[Starfoxer]

the timerefresh is a more detailed reading of your FPS and computers performance and i'd trust that over anything.
