ininconsistent server FPS

[dhandrew]

Hi i've been having problems with my server's FPS dropping... It's running at 100 tick, fps_max 600. The server is a dual xeon 2.8ghz with 2GB of ram, so thats not the problem. I'm running centOS 3.5 with 2.6. Here is a log of rcon stats from the srcds:

Is there any way to get the fps to stay at 333 or at least around it? I've even tried changing the process priority to -20 and it still drops.

what you do is set the fps_max really high

for some reason you need to set the fps_max quite substantially higher then the fps you wish to get
therefore i would suggest fps_max 400/450/500 see how its like and play around with it. Ofcourse it will change dependant on map as each map takes different strengths.
