Wndows Server 2008

[Dub]

I just installed Server 2008. And started up srcds.
But im running at 150fps with fps_max 1000 on the startup line. Also with fpsbooster runnning.

Are there diff steps to be in in this OS to achieve 1000 fps on srcds?

HPET motherboard with a something else server, i forgot

Try with fps_max 0

[Dub]

would not having the latest video card drivers. also cause this? well atcually i have not installed any driver for my ATI still.

I tried fps_max 0 and still wont go above 150

How do I enable or find out if my MB has HPET?

Are you connecting VIA RDP? If you are, press the x on top, go into the game server, type
rcon stats

its dedicated, im running it from the same computer i play in. this is just a small server for me and friends

Sooo, VMware? if its the same computer?

[Dub]

i really dont get what ur sayin. umm its a regular server. with console. i type in stats. and i get 150~ on the FPS section

He is running the server from the same computer as he plays on, it sounds like. This is a very highly unrecommended practice, which is why they put the Create Multiplayer option in Counter-Strike: Source.

Ok, try updating all of the drivers you have, and run windows update. Also what are the computer specs?

His drivers will have no impact on the server-side FPS, nor will Windows update.

Not only is it highly not recommended to run a server off the same PC as you're playing on, but attempting to run it at 1000fps is just ludacris. I think that will cause you more harm than good.

None the less, make sure you're typing 'rcon stats' into console, because typing just 'stats' will only display your client FPS. I have a feeling this is what you're seeing. If it's still showing 150fps, then make sure HPET is enabled, you have to do this through the BIOS. Set fps_max 0 in your startup line and also ensure srcfpsboost is running.

i would tpye rcon stats if i am playin at the server. but if i type it in the server console i only need to type stats. Im not typing stats within the game. but in the server console.

Does HPET go by other names? I think my motherboard might not support HPET. how can i make sure or find out if it does?

HPET (High Precision Event Timer)

Even without HPET, you should be achieving 500fps with srcfpsbooster running. Again, trying to run a 1000fps server off the same computer you play on, is a bad idea in general.

hmm.. not sure whats going bad. i run srcds on XP pro. same setup and i get a stable 500 FPS but running srcds with same settings in server 2008. i just cant get past 190~ even with srcfpsbooster

What's your startup line look like?
