crossfire too intensive?

iRapidV2

Okay, he's the deal, CrossFire has semi-good graphics and sound, okay. It is true. Blood graphics are bad, and the physics engine is quite... premature. Environments look good, but are not the greatest. I put all on low quality, and I get 15 FPS at an 8v8 match and inside a smoke nade. The highest FPS i got was 90, and that was in a 1v1 when I just spawned. Mostly, my FPS is around 33.

Urban Terror has bad player models, true. However, it has a much more advanced physics engine, and environment graphics are better than in CrossFire. Blood graphics are great, and unmatchable by most free FPS games. Blood spills when people get shot/die, and blood stains are shown where characters have been shot. In the highest settings, which look way better than in CrossFire, I get a minimum of 25 FPS and a maximum of 160 FPS. Mostly, my FPS is around 90.

So, why does CrossFire give me less FPS than Urban Terror? It makes no sense. Is CrossFire really that much of a resource-hog?

Any information would be appreciated.

Don´t get it myself. I GET better FPS then in CF (55) when playing CoD 4 (around 70)

I agree with this thread, i honestly don't get why the graphics are bad but the FPS is so low, ive played soldier front and no offence the graphic was better, and my FPS is always high and i NEVER lag

lol odd...i use a 3-4 year old comp and a nearly 3 1/2 year old gfx card and i get a max of 330 FPS on my desktop with all graphics on high + 1024x768 res...

This happens to me too, when I start CF, my comp seems to be a plane...
Not meaning speed, I mean the sound it does when the turbines start and are getting ready for the take off.

Some of it has to do with game guard, and some of has to do with the game engine being outdated and not having dual core support.

I've heard that running CF with a utility such as ForceCore to manually control which of your CPU cores is running the game if you're using a multi-core CPU can help a lot.

No shop there, but wtf, get off CF and go play Crysis at max settings with that rig.

stoolY

Well I have to admit, my pc is kinda outdated (about 1 1/2 yrs). but i still get between 180-200fps, but to compare .. i have no problems running crysis on max settings (that is ... 1280x1024 screen so doesnt require much either lol)

pHil__g

that CSS works better on his computer with highest graphics

I'm pretty sure I can run Crysis on max for 1920x1200. Might be wrong though, haven't tried.

In other words is Crossfire Outdated? Slightly?

To me its all in the games servers

My guess is that there are better servers in CSS in than in CF

Since people actually pay money to keep their servers up which can have an insanely high frame rate (fps/overclocked)

While CF has average servers and stuff

My guess is that if we were able to have our own servers we would have a much better fps

LOL. I actually got it from google images.
HAHAHA. I just found a site where you can create your own advice dog. http://memegenerator.net/Advice-Dog
Anyways, back on-topic. I run crossfire with 45 fps on average and idk why I have a good computer, it's probably all the crap I have on it.
