Can Model lag up the game
ever sicen i got these new model i have been geting low fps

i'am think they can lag u up right

yes high quality models can/will make the game slower, its the downside of high quality.

Lag is network congestion.

Low FPS is your graphic card having to draw to many polygons at the same time, i.e high-poly models.

So yes, your new supah hiyee(tm) poly models probably are making your FPS drop, but they shouldnt cause lag. Unless of course their so supah hiyee(tm) that your CPU is so busy it doesnt have time to send network packets out. I've never heard of that but if it was possible, that would be "A Bad Thing".

can you elaborate on that? i would like to know more. is this b/c of the source engine? or just better coding?

Hey sorry to bring back old topic. So custom models slow down fps, but does custom sprites do the same also?

HL² wont make ur pc better ...

uh you will be able to have higher poly models operate on the same computer better in hl2 then it would in hl1. same goes for all the other effects.

how do you know you ask ? it says so on gabes's t shirt
