I just wanted to get the opinions of some respected programmer to know if lowering your screen resolution will help reduce your ping and hopefully get a simply explaination why. I personally think it does make a difference but the person I've spoken to about it points out that rendering for graphics is client side. But i know that things off screen aren't completely sending information to the client since they aren't being rendered and that I'd imagine this extends to distant obects which wouldn't be rendered at lower resolutions and thus reduce the network traffic a bit as if it was off screen.
Any thoughts folks? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
