Yeap your m8 is right in normal circumstances.
But its not normal is it Im just saying try it.. see if it gives you a boost.
For some god known reason i got a 15 FPS increase.

In cod4 i always set my threaded optimization - off and also would never of set my Maximum Prerendered Frames = 3 or above.
Blackops is so messed up that indeed by adding more frames it can give more FPS.
I'm not saying with the added FPS you will get better HITREG having all them extra Prerendered frames could indeed make hitreg worse.
Ive always usually set it to a Maximum Prerendered Frames = 1
We want dual buffering when gaming for maximum performance and to ditch those corupt packets caused by the third back buffer.
Todays graphics cards are fast enough and have enough power to make dual buffering the best choice for gaming and freeing up resources in your graphics card.
But this game is not focused on graphic cards is it? Its 80% CPU..
So all logic and science goes out the window on this game.

im too lazy as well, changing 10 things at a time.

but seriously, 100 fps gain? please send your list of renderer cmds if it was nothing else you changed

lols i dont know where it came from.

so supremo setting the multithreaded device to "1" gives you a 15fps boost? hmm

these are my renderer commands as you have asked. thats all folks (thats all im sharing)

thanks man, appreciate it. you left out some though, didnt you? no filmtweaks?
no lighttweaks?

ahahaha i did leave out i think 2 things

uhm i messed with film tweaks some. again like u said it appears there is no change. well ther is but its very small.


lighttweaks i didnt mess with much. i tried setting them to different values. again no noticeable change.

reviveFX commands i was tinkering with as well. and not sure what they do but they have something to do with color

bloom tweaks i wish i knew exactly what they affected as well because i can see the use of them sharpening images as well when it comes to color but i dont know what to change the values to.

what i am trying to accomplish is a black ops promod look without the promod mod. i havent been able to get it.
only i know that works is digital vibrance in NV panel as well as the other gamma, color, hue settings. but i dont know if i can have them in a profile and set to launch when blops is started because i dont want my desktop warped with colors after im done playin for a bit i want to b able to control it via a profile and i know CCC has that option.


so again i dont know what to tell ya on film tweaks or light commands. srry

haha thanks a lot anyway.

nv should have a profile option as well, and then you most likely have to bind a hotkey for changing profiles.

Tried your commands ezre.
Added your variables and values to my config.

I had quite a drop in FPS m8.
Could just be the combination of my settings and yours dont mix well.
If i get time today i will try find where the drops are coming from.

Using your renders.

Using mine.


Can't find any reference in the list of dvars i have for blackops that theses work.
As far as i know theses don't exist.

From the list of dvars i have theses are cheat protected.
seta r_flameFX_distortionScaleFactor "0 1 1 0.511918"
seta r_flameFX_FPS "20"
seta r_flameFX_magnitude "0.0215147"

Question: You have seta r_multiGpu "1" in your config are you a SLI user??
(i.e. 0 for single graphics card users, 1 for SLI users)

read the first page of cactus' thread.

You referring to this jaykay??
I was asking so i could determine if he was using two cards?
Might help explain why ezre was able to achieve such high fps in this game..

ezre i changed the value of seta r_streamFreezeState "1" to "0"
and gained a little FPS

Got got to go out but will look at this later.
