FPS Bar & Disable Graphics

[TheAttack]

Do either the FPS Bar on the right side of SMART or the Disable Graphics button affect script preformance? Or are they just for the viewing pleasure of the user?

Raising the FPS bar increases script performance but uses more CPU, so you can't run multiple scripts at the same time.

Disabling Graphics - I have no idea

But wouldn't disabling graphics nullify the increase in FPS? A bit confused as to how this works :S

Disable graphics neither lowers script performance nor lowers CPU issage (noticeably).

FPS bar if set too low can effect script performance, low fps bar also greatly helps lower CPU. Keep it as low as possible and watch if script still runs smoothly to use least CPU/run more bots.

A too high up fps bar helps with nothing and just uses excessive CPU. Fps max of like 30 should be highest you go.

On rs if you type " ` displayfps" (no quotes) and press enter you cam see your fps.


I believe all disable graphs does if put black over the screen, it doesn't lower CPU so I assume everything underneath stays the same, not really sure what the point of the button is. Hmm that is a good question but I think fps changes still apply even if graphics disabled.

Disabling graphics lowers CPU usage, since you don't have to draw the canvas. However, any kind of paint functions will still be called, you just can't see them.

Sidenote- didn't know you could run multiple scripts :) learn something new everyday.

When I set my fps bar I just put it 75% up and it runs better than at half, so I would say yes the FPS bar does affect the script. Never tried the disable graphics

Alright thanks for the answers guys! Certainly didn't know that!
