if you are only hitting 50fps with those specs,I would personally invest to build a new pc for like $400/600.

I know its not the answer you're looking for but damn dude how can you enjoy playing sc2 like that?


50 FPS is perfectly fine to play. This is not a shooter.


fine until high masters / GM...

I don't see any reason why it shouln't be enough there too. Starcraft 2 isn't about timing that much. The latency when playing online will always be higher then the differrence between 50 FPS and 100 FPS. (because there is pretty much none)


hmm i play on 40 fps, and it makes a diff in bane wars at that level, though perhaps its my internet connection as much as the fps.

Though i thought pretty much everything in Sc2 is about timing,...

I don't think that's the timing he was talking about. In an First-person shooter, everything is about the fastest trigger. A player with 20 fps vs a player with 60 fps, the higher fps will almost always win because of the time it takes to see each other on screen.

Now with an RTS like SC2, fps doesn't make a whole lotta difference except in large micro wars like Ling/bane wars. Obviously, you want an fps that you can coherently see (preferably 30 fps), but the difference between 50 fps and 100 fps won't make a difference.


Yeah its a good point, the margins are way finer in an fps. But i would argue once you get into the mid game and later where you can be stringing together complex sequences of actions at 250 apm and higher, having even a few of those actions delay or not register can really screw you up eg Ctrl clicking a group of running speedlings or setting a rally point. Having to redo stuff as the latency has caused an inaccurate/null action like that makes the game really really difficult.


This is mostly true. I have had instances where with lower framerates, the PC will skip commands occasionally. I have a PC at work with low low settings, one of my co-workers sometimes asks me to play with him and show him some stuff but it's hard to go from my usual 60+ at home to <50 at this workstation. That being said, it's not a HUGE decrease, but occasionally you'll have micro/input issues.
Who is this guy? ^
