renderer.drawfps 1......2nd number means.....?

[Discostu420]

Just like the title says. When you run that FPS command, it shows 2 numbers. The first, on the left is obviously the frame rate. The second I have no idea what it is.

When my frame rates drop the 2nd number goes up.... any ideas?

Isn't it the number of ms between frames?

I could be mistaken, but I believe its your fps average.

yeah thats right

its got nothing to do with average fps

I thought it had to do with CPU usage but maybe not then

I believe that^

definately not cpu usage because no matter what cpu you are running Bf2 will try and take 100% of it unless you have it assigned to take less than that by running the process list and giving it less priority.

I know its not that b/c I sit around 40-55 mos ttimes and the second number sits around 20 ish

not that either see above reason...

Its got to be average? Every game has a frames per second and average! Could be wrong but I always though it was average :=\

It's a indicator of how accurate your next shot is going to be

Only the (EA-)God knows for sure what both those two numbers mean.

Re: renderer.drawfps 1......2nd number means.....?

no its not average. the 2nd number is not an average of the first number.
The first number is fps and the second is the number of ms between frames.
Talus was right earlier.

If u wanna check, watch the 2nd number increase as the first number decreases.
When there are less frames per second the time between frames increases.

The second number is time (in ms) between frames. This is 100% certain - no doubt about it!

Thanks for clearing this up. You are the surrogate for the previously mentioned (EA-)God :)

Good to know what it is. Now, can someone tell us why it is? What can a player infer from that number?
