GPU_DetectedFramesAhead

What does it do?

[TimRiceSE 10]

tells you how many frames in advance are being rendered at most.

Isn't GPU_MaxFramesAhead the one for that?

[TimRiceSE 10]

yes, that can be used to set it. detected just tells you what value has been... detected. changing it does nothing.

thx

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=2;

thats what I've found in my config.

Does it mean the gpu prerender 2 frames for me from the possible max 1000?

Should I change it to 1 to get more fps?

1000 means not set by arma.

in my nvidia control-panel have i MaxFramesAhead on 8 adjusted.

but my arma.cfg looks so:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1000;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=3;

is that right?

A2 it seems doesnt use any maxframe ahead over 4.So in your NVDA CP setting of 8 (which is a bad idea, and the reason MS put the option in DX9c{march/?}so NVDA would use that hanky panky). will only show the max for the game, But you may have a "Global setting" that is overriding your A2 nvidia profile... hard to say with out seeing your CP? But allot of NVDA users like 3, ATi its seems to be 1. Its to smooth out the game.

Makes my aim very fast:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=0;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=0;

Makes my game more smooth:

GPU_MaxFramesAhead=1;

GPU_DetectedFramesAhead=1;

I suggest you test with low values. Also check your Nvidia CPL. You probably have it set to 3 (standard). I dont know wich override wich. But i set my Nvidia CPL to 1. There are rather big changes in feel when moving the values around. 1000 as Kju said means you havent done anything with it - not set.
