TF2 fps problem with Win 2008 R2

[Screaming_Alpha]

Hello, I just installed a new server (dual quad core xeon's 3ghz, 8 gigs of ram. this server is installed in the same Colo facility as my other server.
I'm running win 2008 R2. For some reason the server console shows about 64 fps no matter what I set the server too. Here is my current config that I am using:

Sever start line:---/orangebox/srcds.exe -console -game tf -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 -port 27016 +maxplayers 32 +map cp_coldfront +mp_disable_respawn_times "0"

here is the the server.cfg:
//Server Rates
sv_maxcmdrate 0 //(If sv_mincmdrate is > 0), this sets the maximum value for cl_cmdrate.
sv_maxrate 20000 //Max bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited
sv_maxreplay 2 //Maximum replay time in seconds
sv_maxupdaterate 100 //Maximum updates per second that the server will allow
sv_mincmdrate 0 //This sets the minimum value for cl_cmdrate. 0 == unlimited.
sv_minrate 0 //Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited
sv_minupdaterate 30 //Minimum updates per second that the server will allow

This config runs fine on my other server.
I am really stumped on this one...
Any ideas?

what does it say when you use the stats command?

Stats command says "62.98 fps"

Found the answer, thanks to Seppuldura, and it worked. Thought I would share as it may help someone else someday.

"Either start the windows media player or google and download a programm called srcdsfpsboost.exe

May sound strange but here's the quote from the FAQ: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/1094

3. To change the Windows Kernel Timer Resolution (pingboost a server) all you need to do is run Windows Media Player. It does not need a file open, it just has be running in the background, if you do not do this, your servers fps will be limited to around 64 frames a second."

you can also run an swf file in internet explorer some youtube video
but that hurts the graphics card and use more energy

Yeh just run Windows Media Player in the background and your problem will be solved.
