How do you set FPS maximums?

[Clovis]

I see a lot of people mention (running 5x on one machine) setting the slaves to 15fps and their main at a higher fps.

How do you do this? I use Keyclone for my broadcasting software (lubs it).

Thanks,

/console maxfps 20

Change the 20 to whatever you want it to, i think running with 30 on clones and 60 on main is normal, 15 is very low

yeah, should save you from third degree burns as well

i run 15 fps at about 30% cpu. your computer will love you when you do this

edit: i wasnt sure but /console maxfps # is the mac command i was sure it different for windows? i could be wrong

i dont think it should matter as this is something in-game. in any case, keyclone can set your fps for you also, where you set your maxfps for the foreground app, then set your fps for the slaves, which run in the background, so, bkfps.

config.wtf in your wtf folder

Add

SET maxfps "20"
SET maxfpsbk "10"

What benefit do you gain from limiting the clients FPS?

I think I read somewhere that you want at least 22fps for jamba follow pulse to work properly.

The benefit you gain is that no one client takes up all gpu usage, if that happens, the remaining clients will start to lag. Setting maximums prevents that.

You only look at one WoW window at any given moment and it's usually the one where your mouse is. If you cap all your backgrounded clients to 15fps, it'll give your foreground client the lions share of the GPU and you'll get a nice high frame rate in the window you're looking at.

As soon as you move your mouse to another window (assuming focus-follows-mouse is enabled), that'll become foregrounded and it's framerate will increase, while the previous window will drop.
