Is there any way to increase the FPS of server (aka sfps) above 60? When I host on our (= RxD) server (Xeon E5472 / 4GB ram), the sfps is always 60 (It never had more than 80 players in it, so I haven't found it's real limit yet). When I host with my own pc (Q6600/4GHz) I get 63 sfps. Is there any known reason why I get 60 sfps with our dedicated server, but 63 sfps with my own pc (both run with the same settings, because I just downloaded all the files and hosted from my pc).
If anyone knows if it possible to boost the SFPS or knows why the server has a higher SFPS, when I host from my own PC, please let me know.
PS: The Harpertown is 'only' 3GHz compared to 4GHz on the Q6600, but because both don't even fill 50% of a CORE, not 50% of the CPU.... I wonder what the reason is for the sfps difference.

In short: it doesn't matter. There's a patch, I think BI created it, which allows you to put it higher but all those who tested it said there was no noticable difference.
It's far more important to have a stable SFP - beit at 40, 50 or 60 - than to have a high SFPS. When SFPS is unstable and keeps moving between 60-65 you'll experience more lag than when it stays stable at 50.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Yea, I should have figured that out myself. I hate it when someone hosts something like 72 slots, but with 20 players the SFPS already starts to drop to 59, after that it drops fast and when the SFPS goes below 55, be prepared for lag.
Thanks for your reply Goztow  .

I never understood the 60 or 62 fps thingy anyways. When I hosted a FDS on a Celeron 2.0 ghz (Northwood) it would always be 60 fps. Later on I downgraded to a Slot 1 (lol) Katmai p3 600mhz and it would be 62 fps. For the record It doesn't matter as already been said its more important to have a steady fps then having a uber high fps. Also the SS you posted shows you ingame? and not the FDS so it's possible to have a different FPS then.
And 80 Renegade players in one game? Were you hosting on gamespy by any chance? I have yet to see a day where a 127 player is filled.
I don't think it was possible on WOL though.
