Brillow_Head June 22, 2006 Share Brillow_Head Member June 22, 2006 I downloaded a diagnostic utility for my realtek network adapter. When I ran it, it said my throughput was about 12-14 Kbps (kilo bits per second). Is this good, bad or average? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PYRO June 22, 2006 Share PYRO Member June 22, 2006 I downloaded a diagnostic utility for my realtek network adapter. When I ran it, it said my throughput was about 12-14 Kbps (kilo bits per second). Is this good, bad or average? If this is a standard 10/100 NIC then its horrible. Running at 100Mbps in full duplex should yield a thoroughput of 200Mbps, but of course thats not counting the overhead. And you will never really reach the theoretical limits anyways.

Cujo June 22, 2006 Share Cujo Member June 22, 2006 that's horrible. what utility are you talking about? it's obviously reading your network info wrong. post a screen shot of the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head June 22, 2006 Author Share Brillow_Head Member June 22, 2006 Here's shot of the utility...had to attach it as my ftp program wont connect to upload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie June 22, 2006 Share mookie GC Alumni June 22, 2006 If you really want to test your throughput, you'll need to hook the machine up to an Ethernet with another computer on it and download a bunch of files that way. Otherwise you're not going to ever see throughput faster than your modem, which looks like appx. 1.5mbps. If you hook up to a fast network you'll probably see your throughput limited by the speed of your hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cujo June 23, 2006 Share Cujo Member June 23, 2006 that's just your internet connection speed. that's a horrible upload speed by the way. you're on a 1mbps down 128kbps up connection it appears. i have about the worst internet speeds around and i'm still at 1.5mbps and 640kbps. i now feel blessed. lol.

Cujo June 23, 2006 Share Cujo Member June 23, 2006 so jealous of that upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brillow_Head June 23, 2006 Author Share Brillow_Head Member June 23, 2006 This is funny to me because I have an advertised 6Meg Down, 256k upload. I do a speed test and it says ~4.4Meg Down, and righ on 256k up. So if I were to tweak my cfg file in source what would I need to change Right now I run: cl_cmdrate 15-20 cl_updaterate 20 rate 25000 interp 0.05 cl_upspeed 200-300 depending on on performance Anything higher than these and automatic weapons will only get about 2-5 shots to hit targets before they stop registering.

NOFX June 23, 2006 Share NOFX Member June 23, 2006 you never get advertised down. Im supposed to get 5, but its 4.87, so its not that bad. I tried out the 15Mbps down 5Mbps up for a few days... not really worth the extra 15-20 bucks a month. so jealous of that upload speed. yes it is pretty nice This is funny to me because I have an advertised 6Meg Down, 256k upload.

I've always used lower rates because if I don't the game just doesn't feel right.. oh maybe this is why I have never seen a shot not register but yea, I think I run 25 and 25 and leave interp at default.

Cujo June 23, 2006 Share Cujo Member June 23, 2006 (edited) if you get 100fps all the time then use cmdrate and updaterate at 100. if you've noticed in netgraph your out is your fps. one of the reasons that servers lag is because people have their settings too high so that they don't get 100fps all the time. hence why your in drops severely when the bomb goes off. if everyone played with 100fps i'm sure you'd see much better registration and far more consistent game play. not sure what upspeed is. interp should be at 0.01 as that's cal. my autoexec config below for optimal settings. cl_ragdoll_physics_enable 0 cl_phys_props_enable 0 cl_interp 0.01 cl_crosshairscale 3000 fps_max 101 rate 20000 cl_updaterate 100 cl_cmdrate 100 Edited June 23, 2006 by Cujo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z3RO June 23, 2006 Share Z3RO Member June 23, 2006 is it better to get an ethernet card or does it matter. i use the intagated mobo one would my prefomance be better if i used a pci type card instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. Your ethernet controller is usually not going to be a bottleneck anyway; even if it was only working at half speed you might not notice. Of course, if it's unreliable and screws up half the packets it sends out that'd be a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't bother fiddling with cl_upspeed. That only controls how fast you stand up or crouch. It has nothing to do with internet speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
