Unlock game FPS caps

VortX · 30 Jun 2007 at 10:20

Hello. I would like to know how to unlock the FPS cap on these 3 games:

Battlefield 2 - locks at 100fps

Battlefield 2142 - locks at 100fps

Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium wars - locks at 30fps

The most important of them is C&C3 because the 30fps fram rate makes the game seem really slow.

b2 and 2142, you will find no advantage at getting more than 100fps, c&c3 i dont know about but the human eye cant detect 25, so anymore is fine tbh, why do you need it more??

I didn't even notice C&C3 ran at only 30 fps, seemed fine to me.

Why on earth would you need more than 100 fps? :confused:

Im sure the human eye can see past 25fps are you not thinking of anything past 60fps because i can easily see the difference between 25fps and 60 but anything over 60 i cannot

In movies motion blur is used to simulate movement & at 25FPS everything looks fluid & the human eye may very well not detect movement over this rate but for games it is different, without the motion blur you need a much higher frame rate(60-100fps) to simulate proper movement.

I want to see BF2 run at more then 100fps just for benchmarking purposes and C&C3 I do notice a lag. It might be because I have eveyrhting up at max and thigns such a texture and terrain which are so detailed it makes it seem as it is lagging with all that wizzing past on screen. I would love to see the game runs a 60fps+.

Have a read: http://amo.net/NT/02-21-01FPS.html

Personally I don't think there is any one number we can put on it, but one thing I do know is that I find e.g. 125fps smoother than 75fps.

Of course with TFTs taking over it is getting rarer and rarer that people have screens capable of displaying over 75fps, unfortunately.

for BF2 & 2142, open console (`) and type

game.lockfps 0

WOW! I got a rough max FPS of 350FPS! is that amazing or what lol

Also I locked the fps at 30... and wow its crap lol when you get to about 50 then its really smooth 60+ is amazing though

jaykay · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:00

What resollution are yopu playing at?

VortX · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:11

ah... that was at 1024x798 if i put it to 1280x960 it goes to a max of about 240fps still very good though

jaykay · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:16

Thats a really low res for your system.

VortX · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:36

Yeah... Im getting a 22" samsung monitor http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-050-SA

next month so should be a nice jump.

Black Dragon · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:37

As Jay said, isnt that rez pointless with the hardware you have? What size monitor are you running?

Edit - too slow

VortX · 30 Jun 2007 at 16:38

I currently only have a 19" CRT monitor

the Monitor is the last thing I have to buy to finish my setup since I have only just brought my new hardware

VortX · 30 Jun 2007 at 19:05

Ok, I tweak with a few settings and OC my GTX... and Im not totaly sure how I did it but now I am running at 1280x960 and have had a fps jump from 240fps to and max of 375fps... Now its getting a little silly :eek:
