Disclaimer:I don't take any responsibility for any fools that go to extreme refresh rates then breaking your monitors, u gota know what your doing, cause don't forget that monitors cost money :/
k we all know about max_fps 100 rite?? that makes your litle bar say 100 when we put cl_showfps 1 in the console, but it's not as simple as that, now we add refresh rates and vsync into the fray. most of u probebly turn off vsync after u turn on max_fps 100, otherwise your stuck at 60, am i rite??
well theres a reason it's stuck at 60 when vsync is on
that meens that esf has put it'self onto a 60 refresh rate and even if the litle bar says 100 it's only 60(with video tearing).
K so what i'm getin at is that if u increase the refresh rate, then you'l get higher fps, u will notice the difference so folow these directions:
1:do te fps_max 100 and turn off vsync(for nvidia cards, when on the desktop rite clik anywhere and clik properties, then clik settings, then advanced, clik on the tab with your video card name and, if u got the newest drivers, proformince settings, old, opengl, and turn off vsync).
2:u should be getting somewhere between 70 and 100, otherwise u won't get much outa this, on your desktop, rite clik and clik properties, then settings, if it says deficult moniter or plug and play moniter, be warned that if u go to a refresh rate your moniter can't support, u could damage it, and this program u need 2 download will go to the highest refresh rates it thinks your monitor can support, so just know what refresh rates u can get before getting this, so u can change it's suggestions if there not rite.
3:get refreshlock,this will change esf's refresh rate to whatever u want, just look at its resulution and colours u run it at and change its refresh rate:note u gota keep it on in the background wile playing esf.http://www.pagehosting.co.uk/rl/
4: when u got a good refresh rate keep fps_max at 100 but turn vsync bak on,so u won't get tearing.
PS:if your getting below 60 don't bother with this, vsync DOES NOT increse fps, only caps. And u will not get extra fps if when u got vsync off and get 70, when u change the rate over 70, then you'l have 70 untill u get new hardwhere. also refreshlock fixes a bug where if the game dosen't have a refresh rate command, then it will turn u to 60, and half-life dosen't have a command, so u need this to change esfs rate.
