[Question] People say my FPS is to high, Is there a problem?

[ChrisB17]

Ok I got a gaming PC with the following specs.

Intel E7400 Core 2 duo @ 4.0 ghz.
Asus Rampage formula motherboard.
ATI HD4870 1 gig video card.
2x2g DDR2-920 (4-4-4-12 timings)
Corsair tx750 psu.
Seagate 250g sata HDD.
etc..

Anyways I get 90fps on all maps I have a SS to prove it. Anyways people say its is WAY to high and I must be glitching or something. Also all settings are on "Highest". So please if someone can give me some info on this issue it would be great. Thanks.

In practice mode this is fine.

 

[Tomcat_ha]

i dont understand the problem.

afaik there is no glitching when you get high fps.

There is a cap at 85 online, so if you get 90 online something is wrong. Offline, in instant action, the sky is the limit. You could go even higher if you disabled VSync or set the refreshrate of your monitor higher (if possible). No need to though.

Be happy it runs so well!

im sure ive had over 85 online, my pc isnt amazing, it was just when i looked at a wall so nearly none of the map was rendered. But i dont hit over 90. I dont see why fps are limited anyway, why are the fps limited?

I think it is the load on the server, no need to kill the game for everyone

Ok I do play online and my FPS is 90. I am getting worried there is problems or something.

 

[Murphy]

Maybe it's capped to 90 in RO. I thought it was 85 and I'm pretty sure it's 85 in UT2004, but it could be 90 too. Don't worry.

Well this game is built off the Unreal engine 2.5, not the unreal 2 engine ut2004 was built on.

 

[Murphy]

1. UT2004 is UE2.5.
2. I don't think this is more than a matter of settings. I do not believe that this is hard-coded in the engine so the engine version shouldn't matter either way.

Possibly off topic, but doesn't the human eye see only 60 fps at the most?

 

[Murphy]

No. The eye doesn't work in frames per second.

 

[monkeyfarmer]

Framerate too high?!

I think he is just showing off bragging about his new computer. I think I've seen mine do about 90fps in multiplayer too, albeit only sometimes.

Congrats on your new PC.

Play RO-AlteZiegelei_rc03 and your problem is solved

 

[ChrisB17]

I am not showing off at all. I have a better PC in the making that I would rather show off. This is a serious issue, My clan members think its to high.

Which servers are you getting 90 fps?

The ones I play on are all capped at 85 as was said previously.

ETA: Using the info in your screenshot the server is probably -[SiN]-Gamers Danzig 24/7 - www.singamers.net?
which seems to be capped at 85 fps when I try it.

 

[ChrisB17]

TWB is the servers I play on.

 

[Floyd]

I get 90fps quite often (though not everywhere on every map and certainly not with everything on high). Perhaps it used to be capped at 85?

 

[Magnet]

The TWB servers are all 85 for me using the ~ stat fps.

See now the confusion starts all over again.
