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

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

Could what NoB33r4u said be an indicator of packetloss? i.e. more time between frames caused by dropped packets. Or is it just a hardware indicator?

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

I think it is for the animators - making sure all the animations run the same speed, no matter how fast their computer is:

...It even varies on the same computer according to how much memory and CPU time is available for the game at any given moment. We need to have some way of accounting for these differences to make sure that we animate consistently. So instead of treating each frame the same, we are going to calculate the time elapsed between frames and apply that value to our calculations...

its cpu usage ive compared it to the task manager while playing exact same number

again, thats im possible bro.. :)

Thanks for the stat info..I've been wondering the same thing.

And iDash..great Sig

how is it impossible?

read the whole thread its answered.

shows lag?

Here it says it is current and average FPS

Here it says it is current and average FPS

Here it says time between frames in milliseconds

..and elsewhere it is said to CPU usage, lets all be conclusive now

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

CPU usage is always at 100%. Don't believe me? Record it & find out. Or use ATI Tray Tools & have it display it.

The number shown is too far out of whack with the instant FPS to be the average. Don't believe me? Use ATI Tray Tools to display it.

Therefore, it's most likely the time between frames in ms.

I dont mean to sound dumb but what does ms mean? minutes?

Cpu usage....

im amazed you're all still going on about this.
My posts numbered 12 and 17 tell you what it is and why.

Oh well, at least I know what it is. You guys can go on debating it forever but it won't change the answer.
Or are you waiting for an EA person to come and tell you?

I'll PM an EA person over at the editor forums if you really want an "official answer". Somehow even if I had that I still think you wouldn't believe it!

I (the thread starter) knows what it is now from your posts. Its the people that do not seem to read the thread thoroughly that still have a question...:)

the CPU usage seems to be the most popular answer, yet makes no sense if they look at the numbers....Ive never seen a game so resource intensive run the CPU at ~20%.... :laugh:

and for the AVG people, again, thats impossible also b/c running 1280X1024 EVERYTHING on HIGH 6XAA 8XAF the left number stay between 40-55 ~80% of the time, while the other number stays ~20. Also when the left number drop, the right number goes up.

It has been answered!!!!!!!!!!!
