Special Request for the Dev team

It's nonsense. I run PS maxed out on a onboard 8400M G (128MB), AMD Dual Core and 3GB (I already noted my PC above).

I never said you will be able to reach 100FPS with those, but generally I don't care whether I have 25 or 100.

Unless you mind having a FPS of 25 (which is still smooth if you ask me), yes, you would have to upgrade.

[Gawain]

you have to stay over 30fps all the time, especially in action-heavy situations, otherwise it's inacceptable for competitive gaming and it feels unsmooth like shit.

Exactly.

In interactive applications, fluidity breaks down at around 50fps, and becomes unplayable at under 30.

[Gawain]

i don't know if it's just me or bad engines, but i need at least 60fps in games like cod4, bf2142, tf2 etc to experience fluid gameplay. so i really hope i can vsync ps at 60Hz with my current system...

[Spark Mandriller]

You guys should stay true to CT and cap FPS at 32.


Keepin' it real, yo.

Depending on your resolution, it may or may not be an issue.

The lowest fps I get is around 40 with both flashlights in view and a resolution of 1920x1200 with an 8800GT.

The performance is highly resolution (GPU) dependent. I get 80fps in the same situation with a resolution of 800x600.

Holy ****, That sucks. How 'bout traveling to USA, buy the parts for your PC, travel back home? Woulden't that be the cheapest?

That's what I usually do every 2 years. When I go to the US/europe I usually buy everything I will possibly need in the near future that I wouldn't be able to get here. However, paying 800 usd on plane tickets just to get some in-ear phones is OBVIOUSLY not that much of a deal. ;)

Divide it by 2 and you have the price in USD.

I hope everything in Brazil isn't that expensive, lulz! Cause that's insane. Both plane tickets and electronic stuff.

Also, I never run vsync. It adds a 1 or more frame input delay, and is very noticeable in certain games.

[Gawain]

oh i wasn't aware of the input delay. i guess it's better to cap with set max_fps=60 then...

[MR.Mic]

oh i wasn't aware of the input delay. i guess it's better to cap with set max_fps=60 then...

Possibly.

I just let the tearing happen, because many games run their input code in sync with the renderer.
Vsync off and having unrestricted FPS usually lets the game take your input at the earliest possible moment.

what the hell? what is the name of the brazilian currency and what is the exchange rate?

[Gui Brazil]

Reais (BRL)
R$2,00 = 1 USD.
R$2,70 =~ 1 Euro.

[Bubbaganoosh]

Hey Brazil, would it work better if someone from the US bought it and shipped it to you as a "Gift".
would you be able to avoid customs charges etc.? I mean you can pay someone through PayPal
and maybe save some money. I would imagine the shipping is still crazy though but I don't know.

[Roberto1223]

Reais (BRL)
R$2,00 = 1 USD.
R$2,70 =~ 1 Euro.

wow thats a very nice exchange rate, i thought brazil was a third world country. i guess it has a lot of tourism which causes the Reais to appreciate.

yah, thats prolly it. cause otherwise, its not like the Reais would appreciate that much with the exports of tropical fruits. idk, but thats a very high value, i did not expect that.

or does brazil actually invest in scientific research O: ?

[Spekkio]

wow thats a very nice exchange rate, i thought brazil was a third world country

...

Well, I guess you're not far off if you're talking about the old definitions; first world being U.S. and its allies during the Cold War, 2nd world being the USSR and its allies, and third world being everyone else.
