This picture has NOT been photoshopped.

I call shenanigans.

bullshit imo

How do you get your FPS that high? Mine's capped at 75.

Yanman.be · Jun 14, 2007, 07:10 PM // 19:10

Makosi, that is probably because you have Vertical Sync activated. Vsync caps your fps at the Hz your screen has, in this occasion, 75 Hz.(It's a CRT?)

The fps is 100% guaranteed real.

Here's the full picture, you'll know why it's so high now

I understand now, thanks. It was VSync enabled and I do not have a CRT! How dare you. :P

Well then you have a pretty new LCD or TFT (even plasma? ) then. Most of them still have 60hz. 75hz and 80+hz were CRT refresh rates.

Small amount of triangles, low settings, looking into a rock, yeah, it's possible. Not sure on the Ping though, that seems very low.

Now go into Window mode and make it even smaller.

Yanman.be · Jun 14, 2007, 07:50 PM // 19:50

I think window mode should drop the fps...

Key is to get you triangles as low as possible, and turning off the GUI helped alot too. Next step: meddling with my drivers.

Made it a straight link until you decide to make it a decent filesize.

Moved to off topic, not really a screenshot thread.

Trakata · Jun 14, 2007, 08:57 PM // 20:57

Decided to move this to Tech Corner, it's not really off-topic either. I think it's best suited to be here.

I'd still rather have my 180+ FPS in combat than 1,500+ when staring at nothing.

acidic · Jun 14, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

30 fps in Abbadon's mouth mission, 60-80fps everywhere else

lord_shar · Jun 14, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

I get a solid 60fps at 1920x1200 resolution (vsync on). My system is a Dell XPS M1710 17" gaming laptop with a GF7900GTX-512. It may not be the fastest system, but when you can play GW anywhere, it's pretty nice

EDIT: BTW, if you're playing from an LCD, there's really no point in playing with vsync off unless you want to kill your LCD sooner. There's a very good reason for DVI being capped at 60hz for LCD's...

Lonesamurai · Jun 14, 2007, 11:53 PM // 23:53

25/30FPs in town's/outpost's and in GvG, 75 to 100FPs everywhere else

bhavv · Jun 15, 2007, 02:17 AM // 02:17

29/30 minimum in crowded outposts, 40-60+ everywhere else. Max settings, AA and AF 1280x1024.

Thats with my PC @ stock speeds. Now if I whack in my 500mhz CPU + FSB OC, 100mhz on the ram and X1900xtx from 650/1550 to 700/1640.......

It would be better

Can you give some more info on that? I'm running 1 TFT and 1 LCD, My 8800GTX has 2 dvi slots, the screens are both VGA, so I have little converters attached to them...any problem if I run without vsync?

JonnyWarhawk · Jun 15, 2007, 05:41 AM // 05:41

You don't even want to know. Mine is running like crud.

DVI is capped at 60hz because LCD pixels have a finite # of color mode switchability before they go bad. The higher your vertical refresh setting, the faster you hit your display's pixel switching limits. Most LCD's will run 5+ years at 60hz no problem, but forcing unncessarily high refresh rates will toast your LCD much sooner. I'm sure newer versions have much better life span, but why take the chance?

LCD's don't have pixel strobe fade problems like CRT's, so they don't need high refresh rates to maintain image clarity and smoothness without flicker. LCD pixels have constant luminance, so if they are set to a certain color, they stay at that color until instructed to change. CRT's, on the other hand, immediately start losing pixel luminance after being set to the desired color. Therefore, CRT pixels require faster refresh strobes to maintain a static image. This is why CRT's flicker horribly at < 72hz, while LCD's have no such problems at 60hz.

So because my vid card is DVI it will automatically send out @ 60Hz?
