Tempest_Mike Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I've seen that FPS should be above 30 to be able to play well, and over 40 for a great "experience".Mine is usually in the low to mid 20s, and sometimes even goes down to 12. I've never seen it over 29.Is there a way to boost it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenya Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hey! If you right click on the Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot.. (Hardware acceleration to Full) Have you updated your graphics drivers? You can lower settings on Runescape, textures, etc. Depending on what Windows system you use; Control panel > Hardware & Sound > Display > Change display settings > Change the monitor refresh frequency to the best one, and the one that doesn't mess your screen up... You could also over clock the CPU I suppose... Can you please post the specs of your system.. Hope this helps, Thanks, Quenya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest_Mike Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Is it the computer itself? Monitor, internet connection, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sy_Accursed Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 FPS is limited by a multitude of factors: 1) Internet speed, slow net lower FPS2) Low RAM availbility - no RAM to process lots of frames = less FPS3) Old crappy CPU - older can't do as much at monce = lower FPS4) Bad/old/no graphics card = graphics processing given less prioty and thus less FPS Your system specs would help us give better insight as to precise what is limiting you.

Tempest_Mike Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I'm on Windows XP if that's what you mean. I was away for about 5 weeks before and got back just after all the floods and such (live in Queensland, Australia) and the internet hasn't been as good as it was before, so I suppose there's a chance that they're still getting everything back to normal.

Tempest_Mike Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Also ingame on the displayfps part it says cache:100% if that's important in any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quenya Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Mike, Did you try the steps I gave you? You have a pretty old computer compared to today's systems. So it's no surprise that it's not the best FPS. You have many things that could effect it as stated before, CPU, Graphics, Memory, any number of things. Try everything I suggested and see if it improves. I'm going to sleep now so I'll check on this topic in the morning. I also hope other people take a look and maybe can help you while I'm sleeping. Will reply in morning. Thanks. Quenya Hey! If you right click on the Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshoot..

jimmy_jim Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hey, I realise you've had a lot of feedback here, but I'm going to move this to the tech forums as you'll more likely get some great answers there, and the threads don't dissapear from the first page as quickly. If you'd prefer it stayed in Help and Advice, just let me know ;) RIP Michaelangelopolousu can control my tip it account, but youll never control how fine i am!This is by FAR my favorite song: I love N_odie and would never edit his posts! I love Rainy_Day too <3 And also Cowman_133. <33 Oh, and Laikrob is a going to hunt me down and kill me like a pest kangaroo if I reveal how awesome she is. I owe tripsis skittles. DarkDude feels like he's missing out. This is my siggy! - n_odie Rainy_Day MINE! - n_odie Rainy_Day And meol shouldn't feel left out. Oh, and Y_Guy is a noob awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasignhagj Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Give us a screenie of the display tab. Also the model of your computer could help us find you a good upgrade. For now Ill say getting 4gb of RAM would help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
