When there is a battle and I have 10 or fewer frames per second it really sucks. If you're a scrub at least 30fps because OMG YOU CANT SEE MORE THAN THAT JESUS but seriously make sure you get at least your monitor's refresh rate, which is usually 60hz for lcd's. So set it to low- | ||

While APM dosen't mean too much in and of itself, I had some really amazing results from when I played at a ~30FPS cap, maybe 35, and had 1 video card, and then with the cap increased to like 75FPS (with 2 video cards in crossfire, not that the one card couldn't have handled higher FPS on it's own). My APM had seemingly gone up from like 110 to 155, which was pretty crazy. This may have just been luck as well as a small degree of improvement, but I don't see how it could account for everything (especially the improvement since I played SCBW for a long long time, and the APM/FPS change was only within like a week) I'd say running somewhere around 60FPS can be pretty useful/important, and capping it somewhere around there as well. Somewhat recently I also disabled Vsync in favor of an FPS cap instead. This is because now only does vsync potentially slow FPS by a small bit normally (when it's not capped), but when it can't run at it's vsync rate (lets say many units on thte screen and such), it will drop the FPS to a SIGNIFICANTLY lower FPS, like 1/2 of your vsync FPS, even if it is possible to run at 85% of your vsync FPS. This is because of the mechanics of how vsync works— the only time that won't happen is if you have vsync Triple buffering enabled for your video card. As far as I've seen and can guess, when the FPS drops from vsync kicking in, it will NOT DISPLAY on (at least SC2's built-in) the FPS counter display. | ||

Personally I just drop the graphics detail to low/medium depending on what gives me a good solid framerate in the midgame. I might have to adjust if I'm going to be playing longer games though  | ||

The issue I have with it is unlike virtually everything else in SC2's GUI it uses FIXED SIZE (pixel) font size, which makes it almost impossible to read at my resolution (1600x1200). I saw on someone's stream the other day it was clearly visible, but he must have been on like 1024x768 or something  | ||

When was the last time you did a complete re-install of windows? If it's been a while I'd suggest trying that, it's a good habit to do it once every 3-6 months esp if you have low specs to keep your comp running as best as it can. | ||

60fps is a good base fps | ||

Back in the days, when I was playing wc3, I could feel difference between 64 (max wc3 fps) and 59 fps. And it really annoyed me. | ||

And it really annoyed me. Are you such a whiny bitch that you imagine you can feel a difference between 64 and 59 fps? As for a decent FPS in battles probably like 20 is enough, wouldnt want to play the whole game at 20 tho. User was warned for this post | ||

It's impossible. | ||

It sounds like he's confusing vsync off max fps (64) with vsync on (59/60fps) - vsync introduces input lag, which is bad obviously. But in either case, you should ignore his technical ineptitude. | ||

So I lowered my settings and now I get 40 FPS in 200/200 battles and I can live with it. Doesn't hinder me at all. | ||

But in either case, you should ignore his technical ineptitude. I'm not confusing anything. I really felt it: when fps was dropping to 50+ from 64. It wasnt lagging, but it had a feeling, that something is not really OK. And when fps was dropping down to 30 it was unplayable for me. Maybe I'm a player who needs pefect conditions to feel myself comfortable, but that's me. Same for SC2: I prefer playing @ 60-70 fps with lowest settings, than @35-45 fps with medium. | ||

you would want 60 though anything below 40 will be problematic | ||

Don't know why creep is so HW intensive to render. Try turning down the "Reflections" option lower (can't remember the exact name). On higher settings creep gains reflection effects, which could possibly be causing you problems. As far as FPS goes most of the time I play at 120FPS. I have a 120Hz monitor (for 3D), so I actually get the benefit of FPS over 60**. I couldn't tell you what it is in battles, though, as I'm too busy with the battle to be looking at the numbers :D What's needed for masters? I couldn't say, as I'm not only a diamond scrub and I'm hardly scraping the minimum FPS either  I would imagine you could get into masters as long as you have 10+ FPS in big battles, but of course you'd want higher. If you have a reliable 25+ FPS you're going to have to find something else to blame for not reaching as high as you think you should though :D** and yes, you can tell the difference between 60fps and 120fps. Any motion looks smooooooth! | ||

after i installed windows, and got much better performance, i had a really easy time transitioning into master's league since i could actually control what was occuring on my screen. on osx i was getting like 5-15 fps on windows im getting between 15-25 so, as long as ur above a certain threshold of around 35fps, u shouldnt see much decrease in ur play. if u can hit 60 in battles that is mega ideal tho. i would say ur micro would dip for any frame rate below 30. | ||
