your milage may vary & running muiltithreaded on client side with the unstable api may result in more crashing  |

Yeah I tried doing this a few days ago, significantly cranked my fps and crashed the game twice in an hour. Didn't try with all those commands in though, maybe I'll give it another shot |

I tried, it gave me ~10 extra frames in spawn, but when in battle it lagged like a bitch.

Im with Abunai. It stutters like hell when it comes to displaying a lot. I was ok running around, but when it came to a firefight, it lagged. |

I'm not bothering with this, I have vsync on so it only goes to 60fps. And I have everything on full (16xQ AA and 16x AF), and it stays at 60 fps

And I have everything on full (16xQ AA and 16x AF), and it stays at 60 fps errmm it would stay at 60fps no matter what with v-sync.. this is fine if when you turn v-sync off its always above 60fps but if the performance dips below the magic 60.. your computer will split the frames & cause other un desired side affects.. consider turing off v-sync to see what your getting & tuning back on if sustained above at least 60fps.. if your steadly getting alot more fps also consider increasing your refresh rate if possible..60Hz sucks and makes my eyes tire quicker..

Aye at least most monnies get upto 70 / 75 hfz refresh rate, which if ya using v-sync sould increase your fps. |

Quote errmm it would stay at 60fps no matter what with v-sync.. this is fine It doesn't stay at 60 no matter what on mine, it can drop below 60 (see Crysis) turning of vsync= major tearing  I find 60hz is fine. I also have r_lod 0

Comes to show what a bunch of slackers Valve are for not finalizing this technique.
Control yourself Take only what you need from him |

Your computer won't split frames or anything like that if you have Vsync on and you get less than 60 fps. It will just drop to factors of 60, eg. 30,20,15,10 fps. If you have triple buffering turned on this won't happen as much, but you'll get filthy input lag to make up for it... Also, any LCD which goes over 75 Hz will probably just be downsampling that to 60 Hz internally and only displaying in 60 Hz... |

I never have vsync on. Never have in any game at all and ive been fine so far. Are there any games that actually utilize dual-core machines effectively ? I know there are games that have dual-core support, but i mean, are there any that actually make a difference in a good way? |

Yeah, Supreme Commander for one will make full use of 2 or more cores. In fact its pretty much too slow to play without a dual core. |
