Many providers today, are selling servers with high FPS to gain customers. I think it is one of the best sales tricks to get customers, as a service provider. A time, there were a lot of talking about breaking the 1000 FPS limit. A guy managed to do it, and suddenly, many providers began to sell servers with 2000, 4000, yea up to about 10000FPS. Customers are mostly dummies, so for them, higher fps results in a better server (which is completely wrong).
After the OB update, fps doesn't play any big role in the quality anymore. I run all my servers with fps_max 70, and they run as good as they did before the OB update with 1K fps. It would be nice to get the whole fps-stuff removed, and just get a 1:1 scale as mentioned. - Christoffer Den 15/11/2010 kl. 14.09 skrev Crazy Canucks: > The mythology that has built up around server "fps" in the Half-Life series > is bigger than any explanation that Valve might offer now.
