OH EM GEE new tweak, raises FPS

[Zin]

well seeing as how the human eye can only register around 72 fps, and all my maps are at 80 fps + with the highest settings on, i think i'm good.

[Spin]

and seeing as your giving priority to the video card/proc communications by doing this, i wonder how it affects your sound quality and controls.

and like Zin says...that high of fps is garbage anyways, i was told that anything over 150 fps is worthless, and if the human eye cant register anything more then 72 fps, it dont make sense to me...however for the older systems i can see where the improvement would help, but im curious to see how it reacts in a full server of 24-26 people not just single player staring at the ground lol. but real curious on how it affects the sound and stuff by taking the priority away from them to give to the video card...hmmm.

OMG WTF i tried it and now getting 20 fps on Urban BUT no lag lol :p :p :p :p

I suggest you all read Blood's post in that thread.

Hey, worst case senario is you just erase the new value and it goes back to normal.

yes, but this would force my parents to buy me a new one, because it's their comp too.l

it's as spin was starting to say...

graphics go over everything else so other things will lag up. let me show anyone running Windows XP how this would work, except in a somewhat safe mannor...

start up something that takes a lotta CPU power... hit ctrl+alt+delete...

set all the processes you can to "low" including explorer.exe...

set the CPU-hog process to "realtime"

your one task will perform well but the rest of your prcoesses wont get the correct amount of attention. some will error, others will time out, others will take way longer than normal. this is why they are set as they are and most system things (*points to IRQ settings from that post*) aren't editable/changeable by the user in the menus. IT WILL FUCK SHIT UP.

ice: i wouldn't say burn out your card but i would say it'll make your PC unstable. if it causes continual problems then it might kill a HDD or somesuch. this is an extreme example but should still recieve attention.

buy a new pc or turn down settings. if your settings are at low like stoner's, then shit... i don't know...

I find it funny when people will do stupid crap like this just to get better FPS.
