Small tip to raise fps

smogity

Most people may know this, but im sure there is some who don't,so here it goes. This is only a small tip, and it may just be common sense, but it helps.

I have always had trouble with my fps, ranging from 20-50 in an 8v8, but never stable. I've tried many things, which im not going to list because they can be found in other places in the forum. This tip, from what my fps has been like for the past week or so, helps keep your fps steady.

Note: I have vista, the way its setup may be different in other versions of windows, im not sure. I also have an intel video card.Im guessing you can do this in any video card options.

First, right click on your desktop.

Now, Click Graphic Properties(or properties).

A window should come up, giving you tabs saying:

Display Devices
Display Settings
Color Correction
Hot Keys

Click on Display settings
( In other versions its the same i believe, (a display settings tab, but other the tabs may be different.)

Now go to where it says Color Quality and bring down the arrow.

Click 16 Bit, if it already isn't selected (in which case this guide is completely useless to you.)

There you go, click apply.

This may or may not help, im posting this because i found something that helped me.

Good Luck

Hm... Doesn't this set your desktop color to 16bit? TBH that would look a bit ugly, and can't you just do that in the ingame settings?

It doesn't change very much on your desktop, and in-game it changes the color quality of the game, but your video card is still doing 32 bit.

im no comp wiz but it's what im guessing, wouldn't they clash?

Yeah, it seems to be under just properties. Is the screen resolution the same thing as the color quality?

Lol, okay. I got vista. Did this now I'm going to go into game and see if it works.

EDIT: Can't really tell the difference anyways, thanks.
