do me a faver and give me your FPS reading

hear is a refrance
10-20 fps ---- humm crap.com
20-30 fps ---- not bad
30 + fps ---- good

But it isnt my settings, i was just playing every few mins i would get a 1/2 second lag where NOTHING would move, not even the lag where everything slides around.
But im off the game now so idk my fps
I gotta agree with murderdoll man... I dropped my setting to 800x600 no AA nor AF and disabled every feature in ATI CC and in game video settings reduced to minimum.... AND STILL LAG !!! i ping timeless at less than 50, usually around 30. I'm using 2x1900xtx's and 1 of these cards pee on this game with 4xaa and 16x af. If it was issues with net my ping would rocket, its not... Not sure about issues with server but Ashoof has got a top drawer Rig... Now then heres the big one... issues with the game engine, this is where the problem is especially in titan mode. I played with frames vs settings last night and the settings dont change LAG even if the frames go up a little. I play at 1600x1200 and 4xAA and 16x AF comfortably and suffer lag just as much if i play 800x600 0xAA 0xAF and Lights and Shadz off. There is deff issues with lag, we all feel it wether we got 10/10 PC Rig or 1/10 Rig, i personally dont blame the server but obviously some server settings can increase Lag.

Well you have to blame the server because it aint us =\
I play on the servers quite a lot dont notice any major lag odd bit here and their some can be due to the punkbuster updates thier are tips on how to improve lag and performance which include altering the pb update times might be worth trying first as I havent experienced any major problems with the servers apart from the odd crash which is common to most servers .
Try following the tweeks for the game from this web site can help with lag issues.

do you know with 1900s if you go any lower then 1280 x1078 fps well droppp i guess they are not made for low res
You can allways try this as well
To reduce lag while playing do the following>>
open the console in game "`" then type pb_sleep 500 and hit enter
once you have done this type in the console pb_writecfg and hit enter.
now punk buster wont keep searching for hackers every 20 seconds/

can you please give me the other 48 players titan server ip that you play in ill have alook in there
HELLBIZZLE I laughed my tits off at ur avatar so funny man... never seen that one b4
Lag... theres no denyin there are issues with lag on every server, ashoof is tryin his best to sort it out for timeless... i been playin the suez timeless all the time it was online, rather than go to the timeless titan but when suez titan went offline i went to the timeless titan, interesting thing is, even on the suez map on timeless titan, the lag was noticibly worse which i cant understand. Ash is aware of this and cud not see any settings that were different.
I witnessed a night of 64 player timeless titan a few months back, the lag was as bad IMO and made no difference switchin back to 48 players BUT as it had 64 players i felt people were usin it as an excuse for LAG, i think the server coped just as well as with 48 players. Ash wot d'yer fink?
Talking about fps Mwahahahahah i have try to switch timeless suez to 64 players but there was somthing wrong befor i know it everyone left the server :(
I dunno about that... epox was certainly impressed wen he entered the server game... i remem.... "salut admin salut" etc etc and i never noticed any diff myself but there wil be noticable diff in a lower performance pc. 64 player titan worked for me and the advantage to this is more points etc.i know we attempted it last night and cud not get it to work, server resets etc, done my head in so i left for another server tbh
