Most video cards have a default number of frames, and we need to open that range. Open the console, before coming in game, using the tilde key. Type in.../com_maxfps 0 (This opens up your video card frame range to infinity) Then, type in... /cg_drawfps 1 (This will show you in game, just what your fps actually are...) I hope this is helpful... CPT. MILLER google 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you range from say 95 to 150, I would cap just slightly above the 95, the fluctiatuation is a waste of resources in my opinion. They say the human eye can't see a difference after 60fps, personally it needs to be above 100fps before I stop seeing a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does help quite a bit with performance and stability.I never lag with it set like this unless I'm on the FT MW Beta server then every time I shoot it lags for some reason.But I'm not alone with this problem.
