RE: [Algorithms] FPS Questions

[<sro...@te...>]

your right, just with quake3 go in front of a mirror
you will see your fps like drop (1024x768x32) from 90 to 60 and just
turn see the wall and the fps go 90 fps

so getting the more fps as you can can only help your performance

Ever played Classic Quake with 30 fps? I have, and you really Feel the
difference between 30 and 60 fps, or 30 and 100 fps...It's so much
smooother...
You also have to remember that fps-number is just the __Average__ number of
frames. There's alot more work involved in rendering when you see a whole
room with furniture, plants etc. than just a single wall. So if you're
average is 30 fps, you get 30+ when see a wall and 30- when you see a more
complex scene. (Hope ye get the idea...I'm no good story teller...)
