FPS Competition

for all you that don't know, FPS means Frames per second- this is how fast your monitor is refreshing, according to continuum anyway.

for information

ok rules : you can turn down / off anything in View -> Options -> Graphics tab, but you must use 1280x1024 resolution.

-i advise using 8 bit colour because you will get a higher frame rate. also use Esc F5, Esc F4, and hit F2 a lot so there is very little on screeen, also spec and go to somewhere where there are no tiles.. this will also increase your frame rate. oh yeah, make sure you have no framerate limit ticked on View -> Advanced options

hm i think that's it - good luck and have fun beating me at my own game :P

This is my personal best - using a 19" monitor and Geforce 4

Ok, for those on crappy connections:

lines=0
lines=8

And for those that are willing to see my fps count unscrambled (damn that jpg compression algorithm of microsoft paint):

lines=0
lines=8

I'll post the last one where I've overclocked my radeon 9800 pro to the max, will take a bit

EDIT:

Here it is, if somebody can unscramble it (I think it shows 3538), I'll gladly give him a cookie

TEH OVERCLOCKED VERSION

You mixed up FPS and Refresh Rate.

Surely this is unfair for those on shit Graphics Cards.

[Dameon Angell]

damnit i can't find the screenshot, but i had 600 fps.

lol yeah it is, meh...

um miku change them to .jpg's next time....i'm downloading 1mb+ pictures here

[Miku19]

The ones above are jpg, as I said, "These are for the guys with crappy connections"

All I could get was 551. But then again I don't know how one would overclock a graphics card.

yeah me neither lol.. but with the picture he gets like that, i wouldn't want to overclock my gfx card

[NaiLed]

No need having anything above 60

[Adman]

i just had 1117 i'm too lazy to upload the screenshot but ask me for it if you care.

[Richard Creager]

As long as that 60 is held in the midst of a flagroom battle.

[Ewan]

I got this screenshot (NO, it is NOT edited / forged):



I also managed to get 1649, but I took the screenshot too late


This is on an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ with a GeForce FX 5600 with no overclocking.

Miku overclocked his card with the ATI tools you get with ATI cards, it's just a disc and u mess about with shit on it.

Use .gif or .png to compress your files. You'll have an 'unscrambled' picture the size of a jpg.
