Graphic settings?!

Can anyone explain this to me better, this two lines?

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=4;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

The first one is how many frames your GPU is anticipating and getting ready to show on the screen.

the 2nd one is how many ahead it is putting on the screen at once.

I know your 2nd one is correct but idk what the 1st one is supposed to be.

The first one is by default, i searched online a little, and i found out that my graphic card can support 4 maxframesahead, it was like that in my config file, main question is, can i gain more performance/frames by lowering that or no? Not that i need more frames, my games performe really well, i am just curious.

No generally you wont get a a frames per second boost( if you do it will be a very small one) but it can help it seem much smoother even at the same frame rates specially if you have a lower vram card ( eg if you have a 1 gig or 2 gig card it should help smooth the game via frame latency ( even spread of the amount of frames you get over the second were as if you card is struggling with max frames ahead it can stagger the frames over the second making the game feel much more jerky.

 

Sorry i cant explain it any better than that hopefully someone who can better explain things will add and or correct my statement.

Ok, config, i5 4670k , 8gb ram 1.4 and GTX770 OC 2gb

 

Res: 1920x1080 

Video Memory: Auto

Texture Detail: Very High

Texture Filtering: Very High

 

Objects : Normal (in big towns) High ( outside big towns and in small towns )

Terrain: Very High

Shadows : Normal

 

AA: Normal

all other things disabled

Right now i am in Cherno, getting 50-55 fps, only drops to 45 when i look at school bulding, its mostly same in all big towns, Novo is a little bit worse but its around this frames. But even on 50fps game is not smooth enough, i can feel it and see it, thats why i am asking bout this. So should i put that on lower value like 1 or 2, or should i keep it on 4?

I cant imagine you gaining anything then the 770 your runing may only be a 2 gig card but its a damn good gpu it should be holding pretty good frame latency with the 4 frames ahead ( you can always try it at 1 frame ahead and see if it feels smoother, as even 2 of the same card dont perform the same always.You wont loose anything and if it is struggling with some of the larger textures preloading frames then it will feel smoother. ( think of it like this your getting say 40 frames but if it pumps 30 of them in the first half a second then it gives out the last 10 in the other half you will get a jerky experience

 

I put a evga gtx 770 sc in my wifes pc and for an upper mid range card i find it to be a beast ,pretty good bang for buck runs well and stays cool with there twin fan set up.(yes she plays dayz aswell)
