When is Linus gonna notice about CSGO Frame cap 300fps?

In their video of intel Golden Sample
this one

I’ve got a lucky ticket… (youtube.com)

 

They decided to check FPS for CSGO, the problem is, Source Engine has a default frame caps of 400. Hence why you never seen fps result for that game going over 300

The counter that shows it overflowing to higher than 300, almost reaching 400, is most likely a miscalculation. Because in default, all source games by Valve, has fps_max set to 300

So no matter how powerful their hardware can be, they be limited to 300fps.

The command "fps_max"  isn't even cheat protected, so anybody can use it.

You can go ahead and try it for yourself. Go to any source games, HL2, TF2, or even CSS, go to the console, type in "fps_max 600"

If your hardware is powerful enough, it can hit that number or almost.

You should maybe comment that on the video

Reminder⚠️

I'm just speaking from experience so what I say may not work 100%

Please try searching up the answer before you post here but I am always glad to help

They probably already know about the frame cap. Their results are way above 400fps anyways so they're most likely running uncapped.

Oh wow, you're right. I thought they didn't. Because in the video, they didn't show or tell that they uncapped the frame rate. Heck, that results doesn't even put a disclaimer saying "Uncapped using console commands" or something similar.

mostly the fact that, in the vid. He says  at 10:13 "I'm pretty sure that's more performence, We're seeing anywhere from 370 to 380, I'm even touching 390 fps."

And I thought "Did they not know about Frame caps?

Wouldn't their scores have been ~300 if they hadn't unlocked it?

Yawn and why does this matter? I don't understand why Gamers gripe about whatever game(s) being Capped or unable to reach some really high FPS when said Game plays at well over 100fps...

Bu who can tell any diffence between 120fps vs 240fps? And Hz is not the same as fps...

fair point and yes i know its not the same. the thing is (and it has been proved time and time again) there is little difference between 144 and 240 fps. but as i said. some people just REALLY REALLY like to see high fps on their counter. i know i do

I'm more into turn based combat myself. So other then having a playable FPS, it quickly becomes pointless.

then that is from your perspective not others. if a gamer doesnt need more than 8 cores then that doesn't mean that professional media creation/editors dont need more than 32

I used to love playing Utopia, even got into some really good clans. Havent played it in a long time.

I play simple basic games now, not into buying $20+ games.

actually no. If they unlocked it, it would show the results in that chart, which is around or over 600fps

 

You get a GTX1080 and RTX2090 and run CSGO, both capped at 300fps.

You automatically assume it was CPU bottleneck. BUT!!! Because of the framecap, it doesn't even use the CPU fullest.

that's not the point I was trying to make

I'm just saying, it urks me in the wrong way that Linus just straight up says "oooh, I feel like it has more performance"

When it doesn't at all when the game capped

Compare two GPUs like an GTX1080 and RTX2090

They both reach 300fps~, you would assume it's CPU bottleneck. But when check the CPU, it's not utilizing to the fullest.

Yes, Linus didn't unlock the framecap. His team did, somebody in his team did uncapped the framerate. Linus has no idea about the framecap at all. We even see that evident in the video I linked

I didn't know about CSGO having a Frame Cap to begin. And come to think of it, why would this matter anyway? The Game is quite fast on modern low end hardware.

All Source Engine game have default framecaps of 300~

And it does matter for a tech reviewer. Because you wanna test out performance of your game.

Unless Valve puts out a new Game with an enhanced and highly improved Source Engine, I'm not sure I would even bother. After all what the point of reviewing Expensive High End Hardware using games that run and run well on anything?

Because a lot of people play e-Sports titles, I know these kind of high-end hardware isn't gonna break a sweat running a game that could be run on a potato-tier machine buts its still a useful data point for comparison purposes being as so many people play these games.

CS:GO has a 400fps frame rate cap by default, no? I know every other Source game is capped at 300fps by default, but I think they changed the way CS handles it more recently.

Also it seems that LTT does know that Source games tap out at that by default... which is why their results go well above that.
