Bij alle Orange Box games (CS:S, GMOD, DOD:S, TF2,...) van Valve zullen de framerates gelocked worden op 66FPS zoals reeds het geval is bij Left4Dead.
Dit zal waarschijnlijk wel een grote impact hebben op de markt, vooral voor de GSP's dat extras aanrekenen voor de hogere frames (waarschijnlijk iedereen).
A near-future update (not necessarily the next one) will change the way that framerate is handled in the dedicated server. All users, especially those with very low pings, should receive a smoother gameplay experience with less jitter and more consistent-feeling latency.
Another effect of these changes is that all Orange Box (TF2, CS:S, etc) dedicated servers will run with a locked framerate, similar to L4D/L4D2. The fps_max convar will not have any effect on servers. (It remains as a client option since limiting your FPS can reduce GPU heat and overall power consumption.)
Although we don't normally give notice before updates, this is a potentially disruptive change for the server rental market, so those who currently charge premiums for "higher framerates" should probably start considering their options now.
