I searched about this exact topic, and didn't find one with proper fix or improving action. So... I am not sure what's the FPS I get while playing SK, but the thing I know that it stutters, lags and jarring most of time.
The Machine I am using: iMac 2010-2011 version, 27" inch.
Specs:
1. Intel Core i5 CPU 760 @ 2.80 GHz (4 CPUs)
2. 4Gb of RAM (4096MB according to Dxdiag)
3. ATI Radeon HD 5750 1GB (2290MB according to Dxdiag)
OS:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
DirectX:
Using DirectX 11 currently.
Monitor: "Not sure if needed..."
2560x1440 (32 bit) (60Hz)
Storage: "Is it needed?"
1Tb HDD.
My drivers are fully updated, so is the windows. Oh, the Java is also updated. So, is there anyway to fix the low FPS I am having? I heard about something like SK running on 1 core and stuff, can anyone explain?
Note: When my latency is lower, and I get 3bars, the FPS gets higher. Although FPS and Latency shouldn't be related, but that's what happens with me. Explanation is welcome. :s
I heard something about "packet loss", but I'm no expert, so someone else can explain it better than me. (Referring to polaris explosions)
But I have the eternal 1bar, roughly 300ms ping, and my framerate is a solid 60, so I'm not entirely sure. But my internet is stable and not jumpy unlike some, so maybe that might affect it too? I'm probably just as curious as you are.
