-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Heh Server fps is not a calculation under SRCDS
Server fps is how often per second the SRCDS process does Input & Output A few interesting points to note. The default fps_max is 300 The default sv_maxupdaterate is 60 The default tickrate is 33 No Windows OS based machine by default will do more than 64 fps It is my understanding the the default kernel timer for Linux is 100 (I could be wrong about that) Now the question becomes knowing all of this, is what was the design consideration Valve had at the time when choosing an fps_max value of 300 when all other default values for SRCDS & Operating systems would never have taken advanatge of it. Was there a reason, or was it some arbitrary value choosen for no particular reason? As for the reason for increasing the server fps to values higher than default, it should now be apparent that the reason for doing so is that if you run a higher than default tickrate server, you are more than likely going to have clients running higher rate settings, and since the server calculations only occur on each tick, to ensure that the server is using the most up to date data when making these calculations, it helps to have a server running at a higher fps. Whether 1000fps is demonstrably better than 500fps is probably more marketing than any real subjective or quatifiable measure of server quality, and it is most important to run a server with stable fps rather than an unsustainable high fps.
