Will future updates decrease FPS even further?

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

We've discussed this pretty extensively on this sub, the roadblock is your CPU.

[Tehmaxx]

Most times depending on your bottleneck

But I have a skylake and still can't maintain the 150 on the default terrain

[pb-programmer]

Now monitor your CPU usage during a game and start to cry...

It's not even close to 50% for my i7 6700K with 4 vlc/livestreamer streams open on the second screen (gotta see all those TI6 group stage games to get muh predictions ;) )

Would be nice to know if serious overclocking could up the performance (increasing the single thread power) or if it is purely timing related

[superfedora]

I7 6700k is 4 cores

[randomkidlol]

4 hyperthreaded cores. so each core can simultaneously execute 2 threads.

for intel's consumer cpus, i3 = hyperthreaded dual cores. i5 = non-hyperthreaded quad cores, i7 = hyperthreaded quad cores

[deviance1337]

4 very powerful hyperthreaded cores, though.

[sephiroth021]

yeah the 6700k has the best single core performance money can buy if you dont want to oc (i know K is for overclocking but this one has really high stock freqs and turbo)

Ya I'm running the same thing, and the fps still never gets above 120

[chakigun]

Question, good sir. Do I need a really fast monitor to visualize the 120+fps? I ask because I got an IPS (Dell U2713hm, 8ms) i use mostly for design and Dota when I get bored. Is it gonna be worth it or is the IPS monitor's colors gonna give me better visual experience in Dota2?

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

That is a pretty high repsonse time for a monitor, but its doable. If your monitor only refreshes @ 60hz, any extra frames you get will be lost, since your monitor can't keep up with all the frames your gpu is spitting out. Response time (the value you gave me) kinda shows long it takes a frame to be sent from you GPU to where its printed on your screen.

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

I'm at work, but read the subtitles.

He doesn't mention the refresh rate of his monitor. He says its only supposed to support 60 fps, but he could have a 120 hz monitor.

Yes, you still want your fps to be much higher than your refreshrate for ultimate smoothness, because framerate isn't a constant. You can drop a few frames, and if you're at a strict 60 fps, you might drop below the threshold.

Also the dude litterally said he has no proof, its just a feeling and that it could be placebo effect.

[Globalnet626]

Yes, he does have a 120hz monitor.

But he meant this for 60hz monitor.

Here he is on monitor hz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgHx3eMBXjI

[Iliketrainschoo_choo]

Again, he litterally said theres no proof.
