About Graphics levels and fps levels

[whatshisname55]

45.4 is your FPS. 25.2 has to do with certain parts of you're computer not being able to process as quickly as the rest, I believe lower is better.

Yeah, i use this command everytime i play - renderer.drawfps 1.I play on 1440x900 resolution.I have core i5 760, nvidia gtx460, and 4 gigs of ram.It's always playable.On Fallujah though it drops to as low as 32-34 fps - somethimes.There was one time on Kokan we where defending a cache and my fps dropped to 20.00 for like 4-5 seconds then it came to 40-50.Most of the time i'm geting 75fps (i have vsync), but in newer city maps like muttrah it can drop to 45, its usually around 55 -75 average of 60+ on the not so heavily build up maps.In most of the 0.9 era maps i have lower fps compared to older maps-around 55 ,for exemple on Kashan is 75.00 everywhere. I've noticed that looking towards certain areas of the maps makes your fps drop permanetley but if you slightly change the direction you are looking at - fps increases immidiatley.Just to tell in vbf2 i'm getting 75 fps. everywhere, during every situation.And pr 0.9 had some kind of trouble with optimization that everyone was getting.If you check the pr bugs section there is a thread about fps drops from 0.9x to 0.95 too.On my old rig which had 8800gt and 2gb ram i had problems with most of the new maps but they've fixed it (in 0.9).
Btw there's the thread if you guys want to compare your fps to other rigs :

Well thanks alot for the great help guys, it seems that it rounds down to 2 things, its either my RAM or my Processor thats bottlenecking my CPU. Maybe its even both, i guess i could try a gamebooster program, well yeah i could try it, i mean its no harm done. If you guys know of any trustworthy programs, could you guys gimme a link and how to actually use them? I have never used it before, if this actually helps me FPS in built up areas, it would be a great substitute till i actually get a new motherboard and processor and RAM.

I am not sure if you missed my post or some of the other posts. We have told you that it is normal to get FPS drops in these areas and that it isn't anything to do with your computer. I would advise you to ignore the posts where some people state that they get a constant 100 FPS. I say this because I am certain that they are reading their FPS wrong. Nobody I have come across gets this constant 100 FPS and I can assure you I know a lot of people who play this game

[Garack]

look at bug section, 0.957 is bugged and causes low frames, 0.95 and prevoius was fine.

It probably is true that everyone gets a drop in those areas, but it still does depend on your computer. Some people will get much smaller drops than others due to high end CPU's and GPU's.
I'm about to do some tests, I'll let you know what I get when I'm done.

You should get a constant if you cap your framerate at say 60 and have a high end PC. Pretty sure there is a console command to do it (I know there is one to unlock it)

[whatshisname55]

i7 930 @ 2.80GHz
Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 @ 780MHz core / 800MHz memory (OC'd with MSI Afterburner)
6GB DDR3 (3x2) 1600

Game Settings:

All high (AA x4) @ 1920x1080 60Hz

Turned V sync off for accurate FPS reading, console command displayed a maximum of 99.9 FPS which leads me to believe that it couldn't display a higher number and my actual maximum was higher but still not a common rate.

Fallujah West, 20 players
These recordings were pretty close to the same anywhere on the map.
Looking towards the city from far away: 60-80 FPS
Looking away from the city: 90+
Looking S in the city: 70+
Looking E in certain places of the city: 90+
Pretty much everywhere else I tested in the city: 46-60

Kashan Desert, 7 players (coop)
HE tank shell shot directly in front of my tank then driven into dust cloud: 20 FPS for first second then it went back up to 50 as the cloud dissipated, 80+ without dust cloud

If youre on vista or windows 7 run Windows experience index to see which hardware is the bottleneck of your setup. I run everything maxed including AA and texture filtering. Fps never really gets below 50 and is usally at 100.

I find it really is hit and miss with this game when it comes to settings. I have found that even when I set everything to low I still get the same FPS as I do when everything is set to high. You would think with my kick *** computer that wouldn't be the case, but it's true. Maybe if you could explain this is would go some way to finding out what is really wrong. Personally I think it's the game itself.

hi whatshisname..

thanks for your results, but I noticed that you did tests on low populated servers, that is 20 on fallujah and six on kashan,

can you please re do tests on full servers please and post..

thanks

Well I can tell you that by using Fraps I am recording 100+ frames at a constant rate, yes, every so often I will get a drop down to 80, maybe even 70, but nothing that can make me want to remove my statement of constant 100 frame rate.

My apologies, it's pretty hard to get into a full (or just below full server) sometimes, especially one that's running a specific map at the time. It's also hard to get into specific areas or do certain tasks with all those players out and about, I could easily get killed and have to try all over again, or maybe my team doesn't want me going in that area or doing whatever.
I think regardless of player numbers my recordings have shown how cities can effect performance and it's not necessary to go through painstaking procedures to get results from the most specific situations.

i7 920, 5870 sapphire, 6gb ram. all stock clocks. I get a noticable fps dip when I look into the direction of where the action is in a city. Its strange, its like my card sees all the chaos behind the buildings or something.. cant really explain it. I dont get lag in the city if im not looking in the direction of where everyone is =P

[whatshisname55]

What settings do you have including resolution?
What kind of lag do you get with dust clouds?

What graphics card do you have? Could you also make a small video of you running about in a large city with 64 players on the server. Just put the link to the video here and remember to show the FPS. Thanks!!

bf2 engine does not support multicore have a intel q9550 2.83 stock oc'ed it to 3.4 now got about 40 fps extra

[Doc.Pock]

leave then necro thread... -_-

[Zoddom]

how are the dust clouds linked tot he lags? ive got hard fps drops in dust cloud in nearly every game (Bf2, css, wot ...) but only when i activated AA in those games...
HD5830

[Mora]

has to do with AA transparency i think.

I have to say there are some parts of some levels that really tax something in the system. Recently bought my 'dream PC' (minus a few things to make it cost-effective ) But I can get 99.9 FPS most of the time, however some places make it drop to 46 (lowest I've seen it while monitoring it), these areas usually being villages on some of the larger maps. I do believe it is due to the lack of multi-core support from VBF2 that is causing lots of it. I shall give my CPU a good OCing and see if it improves at all on as similar situations as I can.
