Here is how you do it in console.

 

renderer.drawfps 1

 

0 is off

 

It appears in the upper left.

 

If anyone else has any other little tricks.

 

Please make a new thread showing them off.

I'm embarrassed...

my FPS is probably smaller than everyone else's :peace:

here ya go

Just for info.

 

Is the last number the lowest in a timed cycle?

I'm embarrassed...

probaly not mine... probaly not mine

Here is mine. 57.8 if you can't read it. Kinda low I think. Is there any way to raise it with some tweaks?

I didn't get a screenshot but it's 100 :x

Turn settings down.

 

i would play at 800x600 before I would turn down graphic settings at High or medium.

 

Try it and see what ya think.

i would play @ 800x600 but then it doesnt fill my moniter.

anything lower than 1024x768 on a LCD is bad news

I will have check when ever I get to play again, but I think the last time I checked it was around 99 with everything on high @ 1024x768 (also I think I had AA on).

 

My rig

 

AMD64 3700+ (San Diego Core) 1MB cache

1024 Corsair C2 ram

Nvidia 6800GT (256MB)

21 inch monitor.

DH.

 

Adjust your monitor so it fits.

My son's login was having same issue, him running 800x600 in game when rest of system is set at higher, the game wouldn't fill the screen. Got a suggestion from the Forums at TotalBF2 that said to make sure you select the 8x6 with the highest refresh rate available, bingo, the monitor automatically adjusts now to fill the screen. Something to try?

 

TFD

Dug this up from well before we got the game, so didn't know about it. Was looking fopr way to check fps to know if various tweeks do anything.

 

TigerHawk pc averages around 15/66 to 20/50.

 

Hogan av 18/55 to 22/48.

 

QUESTION : What do these mean ? Why in other people screen shots do I see higher number first but ours it 2nd?

 

clearly our 1st is fps at time, but what is second # ?

here ya go

what settings u play on?

Cant play, but I believe those were 800 x600 with teh shaders off

 

-e-

 

I have 1434 global points

 

 

w000

With all my stuff tweaked pretty well now I see 103-105 fps a good bit. I am not so sure if I am even going to buy that other 7800GT to SLI now.

what settings u play on?

we were/are using most minimum bf2 video and audio settings possible. nvidia and winxp set for max performance. nothing overclocked.

 

after many hrs reading tweek info posted by klink for vid cards, xp, cpu ... found out most i could push nvidia gpu was 300mhz from defualt 250. most i can push cpu is 110 mhz BUS (lol) from default 100. any higher and well i won't bore you with that long hairpulling story. after nights of tiring work on these, bf2 fps bottoms out usually around 18 instead of 15. not much. hardly seems worth it. but maybe it means fewer of those occaisional busy area lags as we have few more fps before noticable lag.

 

if in future we became able to replace something, what would make most differance ?

 

faster cpu then current 1.5mhz now clocked at 1.65 mhz ?

 

faster then nvidia 5200 fx 128 mb 250 mhz gpu now set at 300 mhz vid card ? more vid ram card or just faster card ?

 

more then current 2 x 256 mb rams = 512 mbs ?

 

oh and the mobo is only 100mhz bus i presume since cpu front side bus default is 100mhz. what about that ?

 

or are all the above severe "bottlenecks" meaning changing any 1 thing will still be restricted by other parts ?

Everyone! Rejoice in knowing that your fps beats mine in any game! I cant even play BF2 without a community fix (they had one for the demo at least, donno about a full game fix) but I can assure you that you have no need to worry about your fps. A game is playable with as little as 10-20 fps.....believe me, I play DOD:S with it on 32 player servers.

ya, i played duke nukem and shadow warrior online with klink yrs ago, thru 28k modem, with about 12 others, with 7-11 fps with almost no probs.

 

shows how long it's been since i bothered to check in game fps in games. as long as they ran playable i didn't worry about it.

 

with more demanding games now, 15 fps may usually be okay, until one of a number of variables happens. like net speed slows ; other player net or system slows ; server struggles with high ping players, causing less response time for all, especially when you get near a high ping player or the opposite, you get near very low ping player with your ping marginally high, you get lag ; etc, etc, etc.

 

makes me wonder if bf2 servers can have ping limits set, so that if anyone hits a set ping target of say 200, they automatically get kicked. prob maybe with that is it makes server cpu work much harder maybe, further slowing game for all ?

 

as with running our own fps viewer, i suspect it works your cpu so much calculating that you end up seeing much less then you would be getting witout fps detector running ?

i average between 70 - 90 dps depending on intensity of battle.

 

my settings

forced 1280x1024 (hoping they fix this in next patch so i can use AA properly)

all video settings on medium

 

my rig

amd64 3500+

asus a8v deluxe

bfg6800gt

dual wd raptors raid 0 setup

1gb kingston hyper-x ultra low latency.

 

on a side note. statecop did you upgrade directly to the 3700+? or did you have a lower model amd64 prior to that? the reason im asking is im thinking about upgrading to the 3700+ from my 3500+ to get the 1mb cache.

 

let me know

thanks

Now, I get at the most 30 FPS.

I just went in an empty server and got between 50 and 80.

 

Intel P4 2.4

1 Gig Ram

ATI X800XL vid card.

 

What can I do? Can I overclock this baby or what?

Need help.

All setings are at low now and view dist at 95%.

Shadows off.

if you change your video config often you should clear the cache. i read it on tweakguide that someone on here posted.

 

finalize your video settings. exit the game. go to my documents/battlefield2/mods/bf2/cache (i think thats the directory) and delete everything in there. defrag your comp. go back in and join the server. it will optimize shaders once more but should run quite a bit smoother.

other than that. i dunno lol.

Cool. Tanks. I'll try that, but leave in recycle bin just in case :peace:

I did that and it runs better but the FPS is the same sorta maybe a little bit higher. Thanks.
