Recommended Value - William - 20-10-2006
Whats the recommended value for the FPS checker:
Code:
' Lock fps
Do While GetTickCount < Tick + 50
DoEvents
Loop- funkynut - 20-10-2006
1000/ fps wanted = value you want to use (Incase your interested that values the milliseconds to wait until next frame)

60 FPS is a pretty good rate - anything above that, and you really dont notice the difference (60 FPS looks very close to 1000 FPS). Though if I remember right, MS does NOT use time-based modeling, which means people at 60 FPS can do things faster then those at 30 FPS, which you never want. So unless you want to put in time-based modeling (in which case a FPS cap isn't needed, but good to add to prevent extensive CPU usage which kills laptop users), I reccomend 30 FPS.

Okay, but the 50 value. Should I then change it to 30?

33 & 1/3 according to Mr. Funk

It's very simple. If you want the max fps at 100 you need to use 10. It's a very simple math... 1000/WantedFps. So if you want a 30 maxfps youneed to use the number 1000/30=33,333333 or simply33.

I Kinda said that DM
- William - 21-10-2006
Yeah I understand now. So I'll go with 30 then I think
