Answers: 1. Only Intel, and only certain motherboards. 2. HPET only gives your processor advanced timing to achieve 1000fps. Yes, you need srcdsfpsbooster in order to run >80fps. If you don't run HPET, you'll only achieve 500fps with fps_max 0.
The answer isn't clear with google. I probably spent a good hour or so searching before I found information on how HPET works and why it's needed to achieve 1000fps in Server 2k8. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of CLAN RCR Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 9:26 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds] 2003 or 2008 Hey Midnight, I looked up HPET and this is what Microsoft says about it. The High Precision Event Timer (HPET) was developed jointly by Intel and Microsoft to meet the timing requirements of multimedia and other time-sensitive applications. Originally, the HPET was called the Multimedia Timer (MM Timer), but the name was later changed to avoid confusion with a Microsoft DirectX timer, and to better describe the timer. I had a couple questions.. 1. Is that only active with an Intel processor? 2. Does the srcdsfpsbooster use HPET to do what it does I know it uses some media player extention, but if HPET the reason why it works? If you don't know, that's fine.. I'll dig more and figure it out, but I thought it might be a handy opportunity to ask. Currently we're running an Opteron 2.4ghz dual core processor and experiencing 43% processor utilization on a full 32 slot server. I have no idea why it's using so many resources.. We even have fps_max set at 300 from the 600 we use to run. -Matt On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 6:13 PM, Midnight <[email protected]> wrote: > 2008.
