COD%2BBLACK%2BOPS Further FPS tweak question ?

[PTRS-41]

Hey everyone. So I got a chance to try Black ops and I am tweaking my config with help of Tomato's config and others. I am getting a max of 38 FPS after all the tweaks and I started with 30. So overall 8+ FPS gain...

 

Now the question is that to achieve this gain i used 2 commands that may fall under illegal categories.

 

ADMINS PLEASE let me know if this is allowed on our server or is it ban-able ??

 

Commands are :

 

"r_gfxopt_dynamic_foliage = 0 " instead of 1. ( It basically takes out the far away graphics.... so u see objects as u approach closer to these objects )

 

similarly,

"r_gfxopt_water_simulation = 0"

 

Please look into this since they give a huge FPS boost but may be illegal.

 

I am gonna enter our servers with default setting of 1. Just to be on safe side.

 

Thanks

After hours of tweaking, this is the config I made that works for me to get maximum FPS gain.

Please note: People with WEAKER machines, try this config and see if you get any success. I have dual core pentium D processor 2.4 ghz 2 GB ram and ATI 4800 series. So not a powerful machine at all

 

I took help from Tomato and other configs available online and tweaked it for my PC. I checked individual settings and their effects on the FPS. Feel free to suggest any further tips

 

P.S. : the commands in earlier post werent used in this config since they are doubtful.

 

Hope this helps someone

holy crap that was long.....

 

 

I dont see a problem... It is an option that everyone can do... It makes the game visually lower in quality... but it isnt like you can see through walls.

 

Some people turn off the graffiti/sprays the blood splatter...

 

If you get a benefit at the cost of lower visuals and are Ok with it... I say go for it.

 

 

Please dont kick me if I am wrong :-)

I'm pretty sure with the 2 in the first post that Treyarch said they would be disallowing those soon. I know for sure with the foliage one because it gives you a very distinct advantage.

Oh thx... thats what i figured. So havent used it yet. A new PC may be a solution

[dman]

PTRS im pretty sure that you just broke the record for longest forum post in the universe lol

[Funksdead]

I run Black Ops at 44 fps and I am just going to say it is not the FPS for me...I just suck at Black Ops...lol, I feel like snapping the disc in half.

I got a mate who says if he turns off blood he gets 2+ FPS lol! can anyone test this?

Never mind any more configs, i got myself a new i7 Intel Quad ))............. it owns everything./..

 

I just made into the top 800 ppl in the world lol woohoooo

[Johnny Phoenix]

I seriously need to get one how much was it

[PTRS-41]

I seriously need to get one how much was it

 

I got it for $ 1600 but wait heres the trick....... if u go to future shop, buy any brand new gaming PC and come home. Play untill 2nd january and return it for full refund due to change in return policy, since its x mas time. Usually its 14 days. Now its till 2nd janurary all over CANADA.

SO anyone who wants to try BLACK OPS and a brand new i7 PC, go to future shop and get a PC for free.( as long as u return it b4 2nd january)

 

I will be building my own PC around summer time and wait for prices to drop on geforce 580s etc....... till than , this trick works for me coz i have engineering keeping my busy for rest of the time.
