How to increase the Fps?

Hello,
i need to increase the fps.
is there any tips to make it?

Use search, there are only a gazillion posts regarding this and even a sticky up top. Specific questions and a rundown of your hardware is a must for anyone to really help.

yes .
u r right.
but u see.
yesterday i was in a rp with a bud.
we were on same sim,
i had on all the tips posted here and above to increaee the fps,
but
still he was at 60 and i was at 30......
very bad...
he must have some not very popular tips to make it.
i asked him how he could have such different fps rate
but he told me that was a secret. lol.
my computer is new, 2 giga ram, and a good vcard.

define good -.-

PC spec's would help : p

i do not think it is a question of pc spec,
as a matter of fact, my pc is pretty good.
he said it was a secret,
so it has to be something else.

Ever heard about "pissing contest" ?

q6600,4gig ram, 8800gtx 768 , 20-24" resolutiion is "good" for me -.-

Theres not much "secrets" in SL fps wise, only view distance has the most impact on the fps, lod some but not worth it.

cpu/gpu/ram help a ton, SL runs nicly on min 2gig ram and a nvidia (cause of opengl)

I have C2D E6420 @ 3360 MHz, 2 Gigs of 1050 MHz ram and GF 8800 GTS 320 MB @ 950/1000. My fps is lousy no matter what i do. Sometimes even under 5 fps.. I'm using Vista x64 and run sl in a 1440x900 window. I tried also fullscreen but no difference. My connection is very fast too so it's not lag and "how to reduce lag"-instructions are not helping. Any solutions for this?

edit: but i never crash so some good news too

Have you tried several sims? Many are laggier than others. Your fps is relative to your location btw.

yes many. and of those many only Midsomer Isle runs slightly better. i tried also to disable other core of my C2D and it made it only worse. this is what sl sees:

What resolution are you using? Running in a smaller window resolution can help (although with LCD/Tft monitors that have a native resolutions and therefore cope less well when running different resolutions), so check that your window is running at that native resolution, if you have a LCD/Tft screen. If you are using a CRT, try running at 1024x800 and reducing the UI scale to maintain perspective/scale of the interface, also check that your refresh rate is 60 for LCD/Tft and between 75-80 on a CRT.
Are you using the analogue or digital output from your graphics card? Analogue takes more resources than digital, assuming both your GC and monitor are digital capable.
Are you running other programmes in the background, which again take system resources. Check for adware etc. Run a registry cleaner to remove broken and spurious entries. Turn down particles in preferences to 0, composite layers down to 2, fog to 2.0....

Guess ill ask what kind of fps are you guys expecting to get?, SL doesnt run very high fps compared to anything out there,mostly cause it constant download/renders on your client, so its usually around 15-30fps ish, you can get higher when youre up in the clouds or avoid mass of people/landmass, then you can hit 45+ fps, since this isnt a fps game it doesnt matter long as youre not in the sub <10 fps, then it hurt. (o.o wall of text!)

View distance set 96-198 is ok, if you are in a sim with no neighbour sims you can usually set it to 256-512 without much issue, just wait for all the textures and stuff to finish downloading till its done fps will be bit lower, check pending download in ctlr-shift-1 when that is 0 it will be smoother till someone tp in anyway.

I always keep ctrl-shift-1 up, mostly cause i like to see pending download/upload and mage times , physics, if they get high i know the sim will start dropping dilation ~ lag everyone in sim wich usually will crash the sim after awhile never fails for me -.-, script time used to slow down sim alot but i havnt seen that happening in awhile now

both on 12mbit cable & in norway,
max pretty much all settings,
RenderGlow on,
RenderDynamicReflections on,
maxed particles (doesnt affect much anyway on these)
View distance 128-198 normally
window mode

1600x1200 / x2-4200,2gig, 7900gt, xp32bit
normal fps ;15-30~ ish
without to much around ; 45~

1920x1200 / c2d 6600,4gig ram, 8800gt 320 ,xp64bit
(yes im not touching vista till i need to -.- or theres acutally a game i want to try that use dx10)
normal fps ;25-35~ ish
without to much around ; 60~

ok so my fps is average at 20... i have a 8800gtx, (4) 1 gigs sticks of ddr2, amd athlon 6000+, 150 gig 10krpm hard drve 850watt powersuply, soundlaster x-fi gamer sound card and a fairly good monitor that has no ghosting. i only went to x64 bit windows because 32 dosent support beyond 3 gigs of ram..

what do you suggest i do? i know i should be getting better fps since when i ask people at the same location as i am... they get around 40fps with a lower spec pc... while im near 23fps so this makes me question -=/

also my internet speed is 20mbps/1.5mbps =/

I have a 100mbps fiber optical connection

Depending where i am i can ( mostly in heavey population islands etc ) with at times 60 to 102 agents in them.......10 fps to 45 fps. in mid population areas can be from 45 fps and higher. But ath all deoends on the how stable the game is at any given moment.

I got to 30 FPS and stopped reading the thread. I get an average of two.


Two.

2.



Two.

I would literally murder a puppy for 30. Was that a typo? That's what television runs at. How is that bad?

Packet loss and time dilations can cause latency through the various networks, both within LL and the internet as a whole. The whole thing is very very dynamic.

Having a super dooper connection doesn't mean you will have a greater chance or better experience, it just means that when it's your turn, you can suck down data at a faster rate. The internet could be described as a game of PacMan, with millions of players all using the same maze board. Having a bigger PacMan doesnt mean you go faster or have any priority.

Once a data packet has left your system and ventures out into the internet, it doesn't even mean that you will have every packet take the same route, as node caches fill up, some of your packets may wait patiently in that cache awaiting its turn to be flushed further down the pipeline, while others maybe redirected to other nodes. It's the same for everyone.

Once they all reach the other end at LL servers (hopefully intact), they are again cached and placed in order ready to be dealt with. The same trip(s) happen again and again.

FPS can be impacted from any one of these events. The client has some tollerances built in, as its not mission critical like landing a man on the moon, or some stock exchange RSS, but too many failures for your precious packets getting to their destination and returning with the right answer with a high average, will slow down the client.

Just a note: since the simulators run on a 45fps clock, any display rates higher than this are just rendering the same scene more than once.

(oh, and my puter pwns all of your's)

I mean if two avatars are in the same sim sitting 1 meter away from eachother.. looking at the same thing and I have a more powerful system and internet connection.. and they get 20-25 fps more than me... Does that mean there's something I done wrong? do I really need to go SLI?

Very interesting; didnt know this. Puts a slightly different light on fps's of 45+

Thats the quandry of the modern PC, since there are so many manufacturers of hardware and all the possible interactions between different configurations grow exponentially with each additional hardware difference, and throwing in possible differences in driver versions and settings, it's really hard to point at any one thing and say "that's why you have less FPS."

If you want to get the same FPS as someone else, you would probably need to get all the same hardware from all the same manufacturers, have all your drivers at the same version they do, with all the same settings set the same way, and then you may have a good chance of seeing the same performance. In an ideal world, that wouldnt' be so, but in reality it's often true.

drivers... didn't a linden claim they had a 8800gtx like me and had driver issues with the newest nvidia drivers? they had to use the older ones and lately.. SL been using like.. 1.5gigs of ram up to 2 gigs and thats kinda scary.. if the average user has 1 to 2 gigs of ram hehe

Using the KISS method would suggest the other guy is lying.

Actually the servers are updating the scene that you see at 45 fps. Your client on your computer actually renders the scene you see which is different and the higher the fps, the clearer and sharper the image becomes. 100 fps looks significantly better than 45fps even though your movement and your relation to other objects in the world isn't updated any faster than 45fps. Although it looks better, it doesn't affect using SL much and anything over 15fps is more than sufficient to play.

It is true, if your system is capable of rendering at higher than 45+ fps, it is not considered usless and wasteful, simply because when I move at high speed, or take machinima and the system is under stress, I have a greater buffer than someone sailing close to the wind at 40fps.

I have noticed some peoples avatars stalling when they turn, someone TP's into a sim/area or a poofer goes off, when everything on my screen is flowing smoothly except their avatar. They tell me their fps drops like 80%.

Even with having the biggest, baddest most powerful system in the world... you are still using the internet as a source of data along with everyone else, and their is no assurance your experience will be greater than someone else on a lesser machine, if it isn't setup correctly. The nature of the PC's open architecture, means the variances in setup can be prolific.

Wouldn't a much simpler solution be to tell your friend to stop being such an @$$hat?

Either it was some kind of weird glitch that just happened to be in his favor and he's lying about it...or you need new friends. Or both?
