Buffalo Bad Asses

Just wondering, what is the max frames per second you guys get while playing (either server works)? I used to get anywhere between 10 and 80 FPS... now I'm using a new cfg, and it's *supposed* to be capped at 256, but i still get 350 FPS quite a bit...


EDIT: Here's a quick screenshot i took just now, with an fps of 285 at the second i took it:

I usually float around 90FPS on either server. That is because I never changed the com_maxFPS from it's normal 85.

I've set it to a max of like 400 before and got around the upper 200's. I just changed the settings back to default though.

Somebody had told that high FPS is a good thing is that true? I have around 50 last time I checked.

There used to be "magic" sweet FPS settings that allowed you to jump higher etc, but that was changed with the latest patch. If you can keep a stable 76 FPS your good, not much more to gain beyond that. I lock mine at 125 just because its what I'm used to.

Anything over 350+ seems to give the game Connection Interruption flashes, even though there is none.

my fps pretty much stays at 90 the entire time I play. in heavy fighting with lots a smoke and arty it will drop to around 85 but never goes below that.

since i've been using my newest settings, i havent had this problem (i have the occasional flash here and there, but thats normal - at least for me :P)

my internet connection's been pretty stable (as long as i dont have my stupid MAL Updater running, cuz that just slows the net down -.-)


I'll keep it where it is for now, as I have had absolutely 0 problems so far, and I've also seen a small increase in my acc, probably due to shots registering better :)

Out of curiosity, do you know how they fixed this? I remember reading the magic FPS value was all down to maths and the way the game calculates everything and was inherant in all FPS games - or maybe this was just with the Quake engine? Still, interesting that this was fixed in the last patch (the b patch) but that the rumour still persists that the magic FPS value still works, since I have read some gamers I would consider knowlegable still saying that the magic FPS thing exists quite recently.
