| This value limits your maximum frame rate, at which you computer updates the graphical representation of the game state (read: what you can see on your monitor). It is an integer value, that theoretically can take any number but in practice can only take values of (1000 / //x//), where //x// is an integer number greater than 1. So values such as 500 (//x// = 2) or 125 (//x// = 8) are OK.

| This value defines the bytes per second your client will allow to receive at max. It is send to the server and regarded as your upper limit. If the server itself has set a lower limit, it will us its own limit. When nothing is going on on the server (e. g. nobody moves or shoots) this rate must not necessarily be used up entirely. A very common value for this is 25,000. The higher the better for you, unless you reach your downstream capacity. If you set this too high for your downstream, you might experience higher pings, loss and in general a bad experience up to the point where you drop off from the server. | This value defines the bytes per second your client will allow to receive at max.
