Do a lowres and a highres test too.

The computer I’m testing on is not powerful enough to run above 640×480.

I have two choices.

My main machine (Phenom II x4 940 OC/OV@ 3.4GHz, 4GB 1066 5-5-5-18 RAM, GTX260 OC/OV) which will show pretty much no difference between the main contenders, and a bad laptop I have (Dell Studio 1535 I think), which barely runs it, which illustrates the sort of machine that people desperate for a config are likely to use.

There is no point in doing it on the former machine — it illustrates nothing.

i see why you’re a medic, you aim like shit.

:D

had some problems with lining up the graphs (especially with m0refps which seems to have some element of lag) but will have them all nicely lined up in the morning. all the benchmarking is done. :)

Results are up here: http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/configs/stats/fpscomparison.png (unsmoothed — http://fakkelbrigade.eu/chris/configs/stats/fpscomparison-unsmoothed.png )

Average FPS:

Chris’ maxframes: 39.22
Chris’ highframes: 38.16
Chris’ moreframes: 29.32
m0re’s fps: 23.74
m0re’s highfps: 26.70
Quantum’s highfps: 24.10
Quantum’s ultrahighfps: 25.72

Average improvement from m0re’s highfps:

Chris’ maxframes: 32.86%
Chris’ highframes: 30.41%
Chris’ moreframes: 9.58%

Average improvement from Quantum’s ultrahighfps:

Chris’ maxframes: 34.50%
Chris’ highframes: 32.24%
Chris’ moreframes: 11.83%

Maximum FPS (max fps doesn’t really mean much):

Chris’ maxframes: 175
Chris’ highframes: 169
Chris’ moreframes: 131
m0re’s fps: 155
m0re’s highfps: 152
Quantum’s highfps: 119

Minimum FPS (min fps doesn’t really mean much either):

Chris’ maxframes: 7
Chris’ highframes: 7
Chris’ moreframes: 5
m0re’s fps: 5
m0re’s highfps: 7
Quantum’s highfps: 8

This computer is the closest I have to the typical computer in need of an FPS config, it’s perhaps a bit worse than the average.

If anyone wants to do some testing by themselves please feel free to do so! Would love to see results from different spec computers.

Pretty nice config.
Roughly the same fps as m0res, perhaps it drops under 90 a bit less often.
Running the best quality fps config one (can’t remember the name) in dx9.
It’s slighty odd but the characters look cell-shaded :)
Does seem to crash on any map with water.

hi chris , i need your net settings which was in your old config (in maxframes)

Probably a silly question but I installed the moreframes cfg, just wondering is it meant to cap at 120fps? And the bright green fps counter is annoying the shit out of me. :D

it is intended to be capped at 120fps, almost nobody has a monitor that goes over 120hz, it both keeps temps down and also keeps the framerate more consistent.

as for the fps counter, change cl_showfps to 0 in the autoexec.
