Frame Rates, and Becoming a Better Player | Planetside 2 Performance Comparison

[@CAMIKAZE78]

We all know that frames win games in FPS titles. But, is 75fps enough? Does going all the way to 144fps bring you significantly better results? I wanted to put myself to the test, and find out just how much in-game frame rates were effecting my ability to perform as a player... Let's talk about the results!

Looking at the interlink facility it looks like its full ultra with low or medium shadows? What exactly were you running around 5:10 ?

[@pancakeplays1988]

The production quality on these vids are amazing man. Keep it up. :D

[@stew360]

I think the FOV you are using actually dramatically drop your performance and to be honest Ps2 74 max FOV isnt like a regular game 74 fov I think PS2 might do it the same way as Battlefield so I think like Battlefield Ps2 74 FOV is more like a 105 FOV so yours look a lot like a 120+ to 130 FOV On my system Ryzen 5600x and a 3080 at ultra i run the game easily at over 120 to 200 fps on Ultra in 1440 and can get up to 4 to 5 KDR if iam going for it .. Ps2 KDR potential has a lot of things that can influence it .. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faDNiIiZecx-qbs And here is what my Frame rates look like when i am just playing normally messing around kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGa8eqGLnrGWZq8

Planet side 2 for me was never about being hyper competetive, but more about being imersive. Yes i want to be good, but i dont need to be at the most competetive settings if it means ruining the graphics

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Totally your call my friend, I've been enjoying a happy medium. I like to perform well in this game, and challenging myself to become a better player as such has been a lot of fun personally.

[@Onus6688]

I think there's a happy medium depending on your set up, my GPU is newer than my CPU and Planetside 2 is a CPU heavy game, so I can make sure things my CPU handles are set low while things my GPU handles are higher, turn off shadows and flora and terrain detail to low, everything else ultra and use Ambient Occlusion for "fake shadows" so it doesnt look weird and it runs very well for me

[@CAMIKAZE78]

100% agree that it definitely depends on your system and what it can handle in different hardware departments. I definitely have a system that is bottlenecked on graphics right now, but there's also no denying just how big an impacts things like shadows (which are CPU bound), have such a huge impact regardless.

[@Xaphorius]

What settings would u recommend me for highest fps? My cpu is intel i7 7700k 4.2GhZ and my gpu is geforce gtx 1080 ti.

[@noble_lemon]

There is some problems with tracers visibility on low graphics. If you piloting or driving this is might be important. If not that tracers and infil/sundy invisibility effects Id turn my graphics to low and forgot about it.

Glad you enjoyed it mate! Deffs keen on more challenges in the future!

[@JohnSmith-dd1bl]

Another thing, im not sure if you mentioned: In planetside your frames are directly linked to animation speed and gun firing speed. Eg, at 40 frames your Anchor mag takes like 6.2 seconds to empty, with 150+ frames it only takes around 5.7 seconds. Also reloads and other animations are slightly effected, with 100+ more frames your anchor reload is shortened by about 0.1 of a second. Its just the way the devs have made the game engine. 11:15 you definetly can, i play on potato and im regularly getting rage tells from cloakers i shot like 50m away, or deep cloaked stalkers on the other side of a room etc.

[@chrisbergin7209]

Great stuff my dude. for me like you said the lack of clutter on screen makes it so much easier to identify a target. Things feel snappier and I genuinely feel it's easier to hold my reticle on heads with a tighter spread while tracking. It's really one of those things that until you try it you just have no idea. night and day for me if I wanna go hard in the paint. As always great content and keep um coming cami.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Thanks mate, appreciate the kind words. It's pretty insane just how different the game feels with those lower settings, and it was fun being able to reach into a higher level of performance for myself as a player. Keen to do more soon!

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Definitely a factor worth keeping in mind mate, I noticed a significant improvement when it comes to the fire rate of the GD-7F in particular.

[@knfrrhetoric]

It's not just framerate, but visual clarity as well. Lower settings gets rid of the sun glare you get from medium settings and higher, allowing people to pop out more where they'd otherwise blend in with the environment, especially at night.

[@seaverbeaver]

"Relentlessly spawnlocked..." Sounds like my Mozzie and I were doing our jobs then...

[@eazion1958]

Great stuff as always For me the least bare minimum I'll accept is a flat 60fps, meaning no dips, just a smooth constant frame rate. Anything higher is obviously welcomed. Because yes, frame rate does affect performance, and the smoother, the better. And when it comes to performance to visual ratio , I'm mostly more in line for performance, since you don't really pay attention much to geometry, clouds etc that much, as long as I can see the target clearly, it's good enough.

[@mr.cookey]

I started playing this game with 50% render scale, a shitty resolution, at the bare minimum cause my old laptop couldn't handle the game otherwise...I'll rather play pretty, cause i sure as hell don't want to go back to that xD

[@SaschahiGG]

the one thing I can't get used to in low graphics setting is the mat_fullbright effect

[@domezasrekh3775]

If you want to see how performance inpacts your gameplay, instead of doubling your frames, try halving them. Even just on 40 fps, it can be Hard! All the latency and lag just adds up! Anyway, i always appreciate your graphics related videos, your settings guide and recoil guide helped me greatly! Edit: holy shit 40% fire rate drop!? All the times I needed just one more bullet! Agh!

Dam subscribed to this channel years ago when i first found out ps2 and wanted to learn it, good to know that its still uploading. Now in my case i tried potato and ultra setting and fps changes werent noticed so i just kept with ultra, the game in ultra is too good to pass on.

[@StrixyN]

Great video Cami!

[@EmergencyController]

I have to say something about this, as i have recently upgraded my CPU and PC (not GPU) and finded out that game run on ultra with less FPS better than on potato. Atfer telling my mates to delete (move to desktop) user option file - to force game to create a new one (you can copy your keybinds from old file), they praised me, that performance was better...

Super interesting honestly. Goes to show that sometimes it's more than *just* skills. Would be curious to see your averages over multiple sessions, though I understand that could become quite a chore. I'm about to have the opposite experience to yourself: I'm finally upgrading my FX4350 to an Intel 12600K. My previous build would run PS2 on full optimized potato mode, with tweaks to the config, etc. at 30-45 FPS. The the idea of running ultra on 60+ is mind-boggling. Cheers bro, thanks again for all your great work!

[@Alpha-cp4bm]

I heard that turning smoothing on in game unties the rate of fire from framerate. I don't know if it's accurate but someone please correct me

[@CAMIKAZE78]

I've heard it helps if you are stuck running lower frame rates, but if you can hit higher end FPS then it is always better to leave it off.

How is it these days (have not played for years) - does one still have to push the CPU power/sleep settings, because the whole game world is basically 'hanging by a single thread'? :D If I wanted to upgrade the CPU would I want one with best single-thread performance or one of those AMD contraptions with loads of cores?

[@ppr0n]

After having played this game on sub 60 fps for 10 years now I am finally buying a proper gaming PC. Looking forward to going from as low as 25-30 fps in big fights to never having to worry if a fight is getting too big to be playable again.

[@zamiralbarran]

wow, your planetside 2 looks very good, do you use an nvidia filter?

[@RaptorJesus.]

my biggest issue about playing potato is that it effects how far away enemies are rendered. there is a 'render distance' setting, but this simply effects how far away the environment is rendered, if you play on low but max our render distance you'll see enemies and vehicles popping into existence much closer to you than you would see them if you were playing on ultra. this becomes glaringly obvious if you play the air game, looking for ground vehicles and enemy air will be much more effective on ultra, on low you can expect to get ambush a lot. so my ultimate setting would be potato mode with ultra draw distances, but unfortunately that isn't possible.

[@AllinWhenPlaying]

I am really not taking this all high fov wall-hacking lightly, you know? 7:45 I'm talking about. That is a cheese of the highest magnitude. I'm guessing that this is something that all sweatfits do to "git gud" just a tiny bit more.

[@hi760]

Is it possible to cap the fps at a certain point? The option smoothing just caps it at 60 fps

[@danielcorrea3471]

great video mate A thing I've noticed that happens to me is that the game never runs consistently with me, some days it runs extremely smoothly, like, 3 hour long session without frames dropping and even that annoying ass audio glitch doesn't happen AT ALL. While other days, the game feels like shit to play, frames dropping, glitches that doesn't happen normally start to happen frequently...

[@KhaziirEverflight]

Wait, how do you have a slightly better pc (I have the 5800X instead) but lower performance than me on identical settings? Do you think me having my Ryzen 7 5800X overclocked to a constant 4.7GHz makes that much of a difference, leading to me getting around 160-170fps in the warp gate on Indar? Up to 190 if not looking out any doors of the gate... on 1080p. No idea if you play on 1080 or 1440p tho. Update: yeah you're on 1440p, as you mentioned a tad later, with the 2K resolution. That explains it.

As someone who had poor connection in the past i think the leverage you can get from lag is rather negligible and it affects your gameplay and habits in a bad way. It is better to have a good connection than rely on a gimmick imo.

The connection quality was consistent across both sessions and doesn't have an impact on frame rates, so I don't consider it to be a big impact for the sessions that we tested :)

[@hawkesnightmare]

Your test is a great starting point for a discussion like this. However, as someone else mentioned in the comments, there are a ton of other variables that cannot be controlled, at least not effectively. While this test did show quite a considerable improvement, there were a lot of extra factors that MAY have affected your gameplay that we should consider: Oshur being a new continent that you may not be entirely familiar with yet, the classes and playstyles that you used during the sessions, even what base fights you ended up at. We don't know exactly what you did during each session, but I noticed that in the clips you picked out as the background gameplay, you showed light assault and SMG infil for the ultra settings, heavy assault and CQC bolter for the potato settings. All four of those playstyles can yield wildly different results. Additionally, two play sessions is simply too small of a sample size to get any meaningful information from this, especially when we consider the points above. A truly comprehensive study on this topic would ideally see a separate session for each warpgate position on each continent (15) for each settings mode (30 in total). This would serve a multi-pronged effect of limiting the effect of certain bases on the infantry gameplay (such as the NC arsenal tunnel being a farmfest), warpgate position and continent topography dictating easy and difficult lanes to push (Esamir Southwest in particular being an awful warpgate to make any progress from), and the player favoring certain playstyles on a certain day. We could even make each session during Saturday primetime just to maximize playercounts and ensure all sorts of opponents are running around, but we're already looking at a month-long test. Doing that would turn it into 8 months, and at that point we have to consider personal improvement as well; it just becomes a mess. Short of putting in way too much effort than any one video deserves, you did a fantastic job in showing that changing graphics settings do show improvement. My only possible point of contention is how much.

[@smokysky2547]

When screen tearing begins, switch from Full Screen to Window and then back to Full Screen, it should fix the screen tearing without needing to activate V-Sync which drastically drops your FPS.

What I usually do is turn everything on high/ultra except shadow, which I use low during normal fight and off during larger ones (shadow will instantly apply without the need of relaunching client, and they seems to be really heavy for GPU manifesting in 40+FPS drop between ultra and off, and I don’t see much visual difference between ultra and low tbh). Using this method I can get consistent ~100FPS @2k

[@almikala5634]

What graphics card u have?

[@iaiain]

Nice video. I believe for us low framerate users. If you have frame rate smoothing on, it mitigates the effect of losing dps with a low fps, it's consistent across varying levels of fps. This only really applies when you are hitting 60 fps and below. You can also limit the frame rate to stop the cpu working on frames that aren't going to be shown increasing your average fps and making it more consistent. I actually just play on a 8000u series intel processor with an gtx1080 eGPU and manage 60fps in most fights. Not ideal but it works. I always wondered what difference it'd make if I had the latest and greatest equipment. My good days are 2k/d 1kpm. Also why I have learned to love the hard hitting weapons on nc. The rate of fire problem disproportionately effects the high rof weapons.

[@jonthebasedgod3417]

i don’t even understand where you find fights in this game to get 2+ kpm lol. i’m a pretty above average infantry player i think (2.3 kd) but i cannot for the life of my find good fights. it’s either my whole team spraying at a spawn room door or we’re the ones sitting in the spawn room. i spawn into a fight, get 3 kills, then all spawns in a 200 mile radius somehow mysteriously disappear and boom the fights over.

[@thatsmolbirb2519]

My monitor can only go up to 60fps, so in most cases, since i main TR, My gun does not shoot the true ROF and the ttk because of that usually leaves me looking at the respawn screen. I tend to avoid massive fights as my frames just don't allow me to go there and stick to 24 -48 fights, where my frames stay at least 45-50fps and that is only because i pick and choose my fights. However, in the event that I have no choice but to fight in a big one, It's not that bad when I got team-mates supporting me (aka move with the crowd so i don't get picked off and can pick off enemy players like a grub). A really passive playstyle but hopefully I can upgrade my PC as I go so i can be more aggressive in those big fights

I think the FOV you are using actually dramatically drop your performance and to be honest Ps2 74 max FOV isnt like a regular game 74 fov I think PS2 might do it the same way as Battlefield so I think like Battlefield Ps2 74 vertical FOV is the equivalent 105 horizontal FOV .. if i compare my BF2042 FOV to my 74 Ps2 FOV they are very similar .. and its why when i force it higher than 74 in ps2 or BF it has a Fisheye look to it wich i dont really like but its all personal preferences ..

[@wagonranger7388]

The only problem I have with playing at potato graphics is the fact that I do a lot of flying and air to air in this game. The way tracers render at range (even with particles set to ultra) means that playing on at least medium graphics is necessary to see where your tracers are hitting. The thing I found when switching back to my old computer om medium graphics (which has a 1080 and a very old CPU (4670k)) from my laptop on low graphics (which has a 1050ti (equivalent) and good CPU (8750h)) is that my framerate doubled.

Fatigue is important in this kind of testing . If you could do it in the VR Training, it would have less of an impact. FOV is also important, a comparison will be interesting. Especially since potato mode has a different FOV than the standard ones (stretched). PS: frames impact the perceived movement of the enemy, not only how fast you react, otherwise you can do tests in the VR regarding quick movement and aiming (do a 180 and shoot 5 dummies).

Feels bad to use the chaingun but your fps drops drastically once it spools up :(

[@chryx3503]

Been playing 40 fps ever sincer i started playing cuz gaming laptop and i wouod notice I would lose 1v1. Gun fights with NC neeuc wepons but the goid news is in buidling a gaming desktop

[@sugarflame1833]

I play on a gaming laptop and get over 110 frames in intense fights on max graphics settings but mine is pretty new so that may be why

[@LettuceJuice]

Why leave your FPS capped at 144? If you’re gonna look for the difference between pretty and fast why limit how fast ‘fast’ is?

[@blise518B]

I think Planetside is more enjoyable on high graphics settings. As long as I reach 60fps I much rather crank it up to 4K than have more fps.

[@CAMIKAZE78]

Your call mate, if that's what works for you then that's all that matters. For the more competitively minded players, this is just an example what you can do with better settings.

[@zombesn]

"yeah im playing with low fps on ultra, only 60-75 fps", lol. try playing with 20-30 fps on low settings and see the results after, thats what low fps means not 60+

[@Holakraai]

Thank you.

[@kartik0s735]

I was playing a match today and I went inside a crowd to check how much fps drop I would get, it went from 230fps to 35 💀💀💀

My game runs fine on a laptop 1060 GTX + dual channel 16GB RAM. These are my settings and why I use them as such: #render quality: 100% #vertical sync: no #smoothing: no #fog shadows: no #ambient occlussion: yes #bloom: no #motion blur: definitelly no ------- #graphics quality: high(if placed on low, you cant see the cloaked shimmer effect on players/objects AT ALL) #texture quality: ultra (noticed no drawback on either option, ultra looks prettier) #lightning quality: low #shadow quality: low(off is better, but uglier) #effects quality: low #terrain quality: high #flora quality: off #model quality: medium(i play vehicles often so being able to identify stuff from affar is useful. But if you focus on infantry it might be better to go low) #particles: ultra(if lowered, tracer visibility decreases dramatically, i prefer to visually see where my shells are landing on far away shots ty) ------ #global render distance: 1500(personal preference. Lower means better performance) ------ There you go, "#graphics quality" and "#particles" are the biggest game changers in my opinion, where lowering them will actually worsen your experience in-game, like, actually put you at a real disadvantage. Keep these two as high as possible and tweak everything else as you see fit. Hope this helps somebody!

[@Komyets]

@JotiPalo You know the transparent bubble that appears around cloaked sunderers? That thing completely disappears for me when I turn the "graphics quality" down lol. So thats more or less why I encourage to keep it high. Additionally, darklight flashlight also becomes useless. Normally when you point a darklight at a cloaked infil, they show a noticeable outline of their empire color, but yet again turning down the setting disables that for some reason. This is just in my experience though. Planetside 2 is an old game, it can be a bit quirky some times, and different for everyone

[@THECAKEISTALKING]

What is your setup? Edit: nevermind, didnt watch the whole video

[@Nerathim]

tbh it's IMPOSSIBLE to reach 144fps in this game unless your rig is the best available, my computer can run almost any recent game in high-ultra at 120fps but the 10 years old Planetside 2 is still impossible to run at 144fps even with potato settings unless I'm at the warpgate

[@Doom721]

Ah yes this is the video I want to see. I can't do Ultra or high FOV like you. Ultra particles are insanely pretty and I think some sort of shader is linked to it on the world. Ultra shadows on the other hand is AWFUL for performance, shadows at all. So I've settled for Shadows/Flora off, and Particles on Ultra or High, everything else maxed at 1440p. This has been my balanced setup for ages, when performance gets too bad I drop particles to high. But I never drop anything else lower than that. I will say, not a stab at you, with Connery being lower pop than Emerald, you are going to probably get slightly better performance. Emerald is a zergfest of 96+ balls slamming around, where everyone suffers. If I go full Ultra Ill get min of 45-50 FPS on the biggest Emerald fights and I hate it, which is why I don't run shadows.

[@Delfinovskij]

Actually... :D You changed 2 parameters, FPS and Quality. With lower quality comes less effects, ergo less unrelevant information for you to process. The funny thing is that you mentioned it, but ignored it. Not saying that the test is inavalid now, far from it, it just can't be sold as more FPS equals that much better. To say that more FPS equals that much better you should either cap framerate in game or monitor refresh rate, and for the sake of it do another run for pretty and potato and evaluate what gives better edge - visual clarity or "more frames"

[@fredq6118]

60fps is already very high lmao. Try 30-40fps, dropping down to 20 when you shoot and see how your player performance goes on that.

[@Aryanne_v2]

I wish Planetside didn't force you out of the game everytime you wanted to change your graphics settings.

[@Violentic81]

Iam not sure where my exp set the game. But I don’t have 4 k and it runs smooth. But Iam most certain, with potato settings, I would play much better. Often I see people very or well, too late. Cuz of plants, shadows etc

[@frightgeist1404]

11:25 classic

[@robolson135]

dude I dont know how youre doing it but I have never in years of playing this game seen people play so badly against you. It must be my experience as TR only but I only see bad players on my team lmao everytime you're getting these kills on screen I'm just amazed cause players in my game would have lit me up ages before. I also suck lol
