The fps_max console command hasn't allowed you to change the server fps limits for a long long time.Īll server fps limits now run at the same limit as the tickrate command. The fps_max command should be made a client command only, maybe you can also make it so this command can be changed without having to rejoin servers?

So typically a 120 slot server would run better on 33 tick and worse on 66 tick.Ĭompletely depends on hardware performance though. Reason being, running lower tickrates allows you to support more players. Unless you can make the client tickrate run at the same rate as the server you join.

What should happen is the changes Valve put in place, tickrate should be removed and locked to 66 and the client tickrate should be locked at the same across the board on all client/server platforms. Meaning 300 - 66, that makes 234 wasted frames taking server resources per second.

So if you had a 66 tick server and your server ran with 300 fps then clients would only see 66 updates per second. This is due to the fact clients are updated whatever amount of times per second depending on your server tickrate. Your server will always keep a stable high fps bang on the same as your server tickrate.īut only if your server hardware can keep up.īare in mind there is no point having server fps higher than your server tickrate anyway. It was proven that setting your server fps higher was just wasting system resources. You used to be able to set the server fps rate higher no matter what server tickrate you were running. Were talking quite a long time ago, many many updates have gone since then. That default tickrate is 66 across the board.Īs far as i know Valve locked clients and servers to that value with quite a few games. You will find the default value is 300 where as my server is running at whatever your tickrate is. Try running that command on your server startup or even run that command in your server console. The fps_max command doesn't do anything what so ever, that is to adjust client max fps only. If you have 33 tick then the server fps would be 33, if you have 66 tick then your server fps would be 66.

The server fps runs along side your tickrate.
