Every video card has its up points and down points. Like mine is good with SMOOTHVISION which smooths out harsh lines in high resolutions but bad with KTX buffer support.Originally posted by Ultimate 17
Now my turn with a question...
Originally I downloaded that fps-fixer because I have Windows XP and my fps is limited to only 60 fps when I know with my current set-up, I can achieve more. I didn't know what I was doing with the fps-fixer... it just gave a bunch of numbers in mhz for refresh rate. What do these numbers mean and which is best for optimal fps? Also, normally I run my desktop at 1024x700 or something like that, but in ESF I run OpenGL at 800x680, so do I tweak the fps-fixer for the 1024x700 or for 800x680? I set the 800x680 to 120mhz refresh rate, restarted my computer, and my video settings were messed.
Last week I downloaded the new nvidia drivers for geforce it also has fram refresh options on that too. Whats recommended refresh rates for optimal performance?
Easiest way to explain it is this;
The better it looks the lower the FPS, in other words your video card is doing more to make it look good slowing you down.
Refresh rate is how fast the video card refreshes the monitor. the low the refresh rate IE 60hz the more noticible lines will be when drawn to the montior. You know when you see a TV on TV and you see the lines going through it, thats the refresh rate...
Basically just play with it till your happy, and it works.
