CPU and GPU quality

[brandon_daugherty]

When I play CS:GO with 1-4 players in the server I get 300 fps, but when more people join, 10 or more, my fps drops below 200. Is this caused by the extra load on the CPU? I can't imagine it would have anything to do with graphics being that they are not even on my screen. Would like to get a constant 300 fps.

I dont understand how 200fps benefits you? Do you have a 300hz monitor?

 

[brandon_daugherty]

I have 144hz monitor and I dont need to get into the topic of how fast your eyes can see I can tell a difference between 200 and 300 fps. Just as I could tell the difference between 60 and 100 in cs1.6. I know some might not agree, but there is a noticeable difference. The only time it becomes a problem is during gunfights and recoil control. Any other time it doesnt matter.

 

[coolcole01]

I can tell the difference between 60 and 144 too but once overthe refresh rate of the monitor it doesnt matter as long as its above 144 and stays constant i can see trying to keep at least 200. What is your internet speed

 

[brandon_daugherty]

even with the old 60hz crt's there was a difference between 60 and 100. and the same goes for 200 and 300. Thats besides the point though. It was more out of curiosity of why I am loosing the fps considering there is no extra load on my GPU when this happens. Kind of just a "benchmark" if I can gain performance here I'm sure the same would happen in 50fps DayZ. Was basically wondering if my CPU is struggling. I have 24down and 1up. Same happened when I had 50down and 15up. (win7, i5 2320, geforce 760)

Can you check what your load on the cores during a 4 player game and a large group

 

[brandon_daugherty]

will do. side question. What do you think about the quality difference between frontier dsl 14down 1up and comcast cable 50down 15up as far as gaming? I've heard rumors that comcasts high speed are just a boost and it's not really constant and that cable can slow down in peek hours vs dsl is a direct to the house. any thoughts?

 

[coolcole01]

comcast uses a copper to fiber solution and it is excellent 99% of the time dsl will always be weaker but should be more than enough

Unless things have changed, cable is up and down in terms of top speed because it's a shared network. When everyone in the neighborhood gets home from work or school and gets online, you'll notice speed drops where dsl you won't. Sometimes cable is blazing fast but at it's worst it can be like dialup. It will fluctuate based on where you live, how many users etc etc. It also depends on lag, from my experience even low end dsl is much more responsive due to less lag than cable internet I've experienced. So long as cable is working properly, it can be faster. If I had the choice I'd opt for dsl but it depends on what speed packages are available and would also depends on whether it's adsl, sdsl, vdsl.

 

[brandon_daugherty]

ya that's why I went from cable to dsl. I was getting really weird delays and the were long delays. The 1m upload still makes me wonder. Wish I could get more. I live in a small town probably not the best quality and wish we could get fios.

This is from running benchmark. I'm going to go check out the program and I should be able to run a benchmark on this while I am in game correct?

 

[coolcole01]

no it basically stresses the card out and it looks fine it must be something software related because your pc is doing a great job

I live in a small town too - well, outside of town. No cable, no dsl, no nada. Choices are wireless 3g, dialup and satellite. It's a lose/lose lol. When I lived elsewhere and had cable internet, it was great when it was on (charter). For some reason the router kept losing signal and required a restart once a day at least. In the evenings on weekdays the speeds got noticeably slower. The delay was what I was referring to - for instance, streaming video. I'd click on a 30min youtube video or netflix video and it would have a brainfart for a minute trying to load the page. Once it got past the hesitation, then the video streamed no problem without buffering. It seemed to go out a lot (both t.v. and internet) and reminded me of the old days of cable t.v.

For gaming, the lag/ping response needs to be low. High ping rates will cause delays that will poorly affect gaming especially for fast action fps games.

Software related as far as the game itself? It's a fresh install of the game I just think its weird that there is such a huge difference in quality from one time to another... Isn't fps usually consistent? I know it changes depending on the load of graphics but the same graphics have different results. can connection have any change on fps? What do you recommend to use to benchmark during gameplay?

 

[coolcole01]

I have seen this a lot with cs so im guessing its more common than you think.

 

[coolcole01]

during gameplay use afterburner and you can monitor whats going on

 

[brandon_daugherty]

I'm going to figure the fps drop is a game issue and not my pc. Thank you so much for your help. Now I can focus on where the choppyness is coming from on my other thread Thanks again!
