There have been long threads about this in the past. Higher FPS had an unpredictable and small, but real, impact on "jitter" - depending on server OS settings and other complicated factors, a 1000 FPS server might have processed packets a few milliseconds sooner than the same server at 500 FPS... Or not. The engine has been significantly reworked to eliminate this extremely subtle effect. Chances are that most players would not have passed a double-blind A/B test for guessing if a server on equivalent hardware and CPU load was running at 300 or 1000 FPS. But that is irrelevant because the engine now has less jitter at 66 than it used to at 1000 under any conditions.
Let's please bury the FPS topic forever now. There are other issues worth focusing on, and I would hope that server admins have better things to do than debate irrelevant numbers over the Internet. ... Well, I can dream, can't I? :) On Oct 16, 2011, at 9:46 PM, "Travis Brown" <tbrown7...@gmail.com<mailto:tbrown7...@gmail.com>> wrote: I know TF2 doesnt work right at 100 tick. Im more refering to CSS. They can make it work properly but they dont. even locked at 66 tick as it is now isnt stable at all. If it boiled down to FPS greater then tickrate then why is it i can tell a difference between 250FPS and 500FPS and 1000FPS? That kind of throws the pointless out the window.

Valve are tying to make a more uniform experience for all players. And at the end of the day, they have the right to do that and you can't stop them. There have been so many discussions over fps and it has all boiled down to an fps being greater than the server tick rate being entirely pointless, so if you want to waste your CPU just so you can have a higher number then be my guest.

Why are you wasting efforts on trying to mess up the 100 tick mod? Those who run it obviously want it and your trying to sabotage that. Why you all chose to lock everything down to on the worst side of the spectrum i dont know. Locking it to 100 tick and 500FPS would have been much better.

FPS has always been a useless number that does not affect server bandwidth or update rate unless you also run a binary mod that changes the tickrate of the game. (Some server hosts appear to be doing this now that FPS is locked. We will be disabling that type of mod soon, FYI.) In short, don't worry about it and don't change anything unless you really feel the need to tinker.
