lorne Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 Depends on the game. FPS games under 100-200 is playable, under 100 is preferable. Games like World Of Warcraft pings up to 300 are playable, but the lower the better. 600 should be unplayable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orignal_Cronicus Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 there is "good ping to have" but the lower then better u see like homeboy above said a higer fps game might not be so good. this is because every frame per second u see the svr has to send to u and bak, if u have a higher ping honstly id say 200 and above it would be betetr to set a lower fps, also your conection matters alot, for example a 56k client could have a ping 200 and anywhare above, its not gona be typical for them to have lower, a dsl maybe 100 and above, sum dsl is realy fast and can produce cable pings ususaly 50 and above then going on to faster net services like t1, oem etc etc rest ashured theres trhyings u cna always do to lower ping i would suggest going to the games website and searching 4 articles pretaining to ping loweing, also theres tons of software and even simple setings to lower ping even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
