In renegade I never can get over 60-70 FPS.
AMD 2.6GHz Dual Core 5200+
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB
with that I should get like 200!!??
WTF?

I don't see why people moan/boast about there FPS.
60 FPS is what the average human eye can see (Why do you think monitor makers don't make monitors that can go like 200Hz?) .
70-75FPS is pushing it.
People saying oh look I have 100+ FPS and think they're getting uber cool shit are just stupid.
If you have a stable 60-75FPS you aren't going to tell the difference of the gameplay from having a stable 100FPS.
But anyway, if you REALLY want to have a higher FPS theres two ways.
1) Lower your resolution (Desktop resolution) and then increase the Hz in the settings. (You would also have to lower your Ren resolution aswell. Most people do anyways. How can you people play a game @ 8*6?)
2) Google for a program that'll allow you to turn Vsync on. This is show you your TRUE FPS. (But it won't make a difference in gameplay except give you more lag. For example; One moment you have 150FPS and then when something big happens like 7 mammys all shoot your FPS will drop to like 80 creating a huge lag spike)
Edit:
One last thing, if you people want to bitch and tell me I don't know what im talking about then be my guest. I really couldn't give a shit. Good day.

Sigh... every time there's a topic like this I always have to step in and teach a class. Everyone is right about the fact that your FPS is being limited because of your refresh rate, but if you still want FPS higher than that even though you can't see the difference, turn VSYNC off.

Increasing the refresh rate over what your monitor can support will perminently damage your graphics card, monitor or both, rendering them useless.
Most LCD monitors support up-to 75Hz, whereas CRT (the big ones) support up to 80Hz.
|
No it will not damage your monitor/video card. If the screen displays fine, it's fine. If the monitor doesn't support it, it will either NOT show up in the list of refresh rates or your screen will turn BLACK. It won't run a refresh rate it cannot run. If it did, then everyone's monitors would fry. I've been running 85hz for yeeaaars, and my room hasn't caught on fire.

I must be inhuman then; I can see above 85Hz. 
|
I can see flickering at 85hz too (on a CRT), but as far as game FPS goes, I can't really tell much past 60.

uhm, just turn vsync off in your graphic card settings, or I think
you can turn it also off if you have the latest scripts.dll installed, then there is a new option in the renegade settings menu. This has nothing to do with your LCD screen. It's just a feature to sync the FPS rate of the game with your LCD screen 
When people ask me "Plz" just because it's shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because it's shorter then "Yes"
Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life
