You didn't read what I've written. When GPU=0 resolution makes difference for me.

in update: DOES RESOLUTION AFFECT FIGHT FPS? b257 Comment by xtal September 2013

(Quote)
Yea! probably weak gfx card?. With i3-3220 (2x3,3Ghz) and HD5770, I get 100fps ready room, normal game 50-70 (rare 40fps).

What is nice about this build is by my personal feeling, even if you get down to 40fps it feels …

in Beta Build 249 Released on Steam! - Natural Selection 2 Comment by xtal June 2013

@VittuLima how many cores are on your CPU? cause you will get 100% CPU load only if you have 1 or 2 cores - NS2 doesn't use well more than 2 cores.

in Bad performance? Some hints and tips Comment by xtal March 2013

Yes. I would say even if you get 10% of game time above 0[ms] you're not GPU limited.

in Bad performance? Some hints and tips Comment by xtal March 2013

@Xarius yes, but if you get lower performance in battle you can be almost sure problem is CPU. I would say only if "waiting for GPU" is above >0ms, 80% of time GPU i…

@DC_Darkling this is actually interesting cause I've had same feeling about my i3 3220 (2x3,3GHz) versus some older CPUs getting better performance. I thought it's…

in Extremely poor performance continues. Comment by xtal March 2013

It's probably cause other games don't stress your CPU enought. They kick it on 80% and CPU dosen't "overheat". That's why peapole use software like prime95 or Orthos to test CPU. Maybe you will need to boost CPU core voltage to get it stable.

in Freezing crashes since build 238/239 Comment by xtal February 2013

It would be nice to see how gfx options affect minimum fps (Iower quartile?) not average, cause improvement of 40-100 to 40-120 fps isn't really an improvement, at least for me

In C/C++ you can control hardware better. Like processor(s) and cache memory, but with devils language: http://lwn.net/Articles/255364/

2) Restart, turn-off all mods on my side. After "play demo" game freeze on "Downloa…

hint: If you run profiler in game, after pause with 'space' key, you can use '/b]' and '[b' key to go back and forth in history of captured frames. This way it will be easier f…
