fps

[CrAp]

hey guys,

my question is about fps

My fps is always between 20 and 60(top). Very bad but i can handle it, sometimes with the nescesairy chokes etcetera...
I come back from my vacation, never touched my laptop settings nor CSS settings.
I come on s2 yesterday and my fps pulls up between 130 and 200!!!!???? WTF, i thought this would be the map and it would go over the next map. It didnt. gameplay was super...so i thought this would go over when if i would go s1?
When i went to s1 the fps dropped but it was still between 100 and 150!!? WTF again? This is not a bad thing offcourse, i dont mind but can someone explain why this happend or what the purpose of this all is. Because if it comes and goes as it wishes then i want to do something about it and keep it between 100 and 150 fps. Because its more fun and better to play with. I find it weird because i never changed my videosettings....

mabye your sheer awsomness made it run better?

have no clue about FPS, all i know is the worse you set your actual graphic textures etc, the more FPS your get

i normally hit about 122 fps steady as i have max FPS set to that

sorry couldnt help more

no funny ass. I really dont know whats up with the sudden raise of my fps. Been playing for a year now with +/-45 and now its so high. Maybe im use to have crappy gameplay

Some sort of auto WIndows update? Driver update maybe?

Sounds odd tho.

It sounds to me that maybe your steam settings ( resolution settings ) may of flicked back to a default setting which is lower than what you used to run, and its now giving you better fps.

What? something like frogger?

[Schlack]

Have you considered games that are a little less graphics intensive to play, and take advantage of your current hardware ?

TFC FTW

I like the bit where he says the "graphics are about average.." and he gives it "8/10"

@ Bullet: I'm not saying its server 1's fault at all, I seem to be able to play Server 2 without any problems only because my system is OUT-DATED as you should know I cant really do much about it at the moment. On top of that I am working on getting a complete new system!

Any hows, I'm not in a rush as I am trying to get a job since that's my priority.

PS: Have I done something to upset you personally. (If so PM / Ring Me with details)
