TF2 FPS

[Robert]

Hi there,

Recently I installed a 4870X2 and I don't think that my TF2 FPS is where it should be:

2008-11-06 23:06:08 - hl2
Frames: 35219 - Time: 422066ms - Avg: 83.444 - Min: 37 - Max: 214

This is 1680*1050/4AA/16AF/Motion Blur/Very high/high settings.

make sure everything in CCC is default, you go on a very good server for latency etc, that can effect smoothness. Make sure you have no excess programs running in the background.

looks fine to me. source games also rely on cpu power a fair bit too

it annoys me that older games still bog down in FPS with even the best cards.

What's your CPU clocked at? Have my Q6600 @ 3.5GHz, lowest FPS drop in TF2 i've seen is about 45. There are some guides to enabling multi core support via the console. However many people have encountered problems, game crashing etc. Blame valve for not supporting multi cores!

if u play in doomeys i think its getting a slow down as the servers is bit overloaded.

TF2 doesnt see massive gains as you install better GPU's .. and running 2 GPU's doesnt do a lot either.
With CF Enabled on my 4850's i get similar results to yours (-2 fps on the average i would say compared to you), with CF Disabled i get almost the same results.


Source engine is tied to the processor, which is quite ironic since it doesnt even use more then 1 core properly at the moment.
