Turning off the 24htz makes a difference to the games and not just the bluray player? my arse.
The HDMI stuff is irrelevant if using the component or AV cable and if you are using HDMI would make no difference because of the digital nature of the format. All it does is alter what the PS3 does with that digital information.
None of that is going to effect the frame rate because the video processing for your TV/Monitor is done after the image is generated by the game software and is done via dedicated hardware in the PS3 itself, meaning no CPU/GPU resources are saved and used for frame creation instead.
The video smoothing does have an effect in how the game looks but again this is hardware based and not software.
This is 20 years of experience of being a Home Cinema and AV enthusiast talking now.
The problems in Dusts FPS are entirely in the software of the game itself and the heavily modified version of UE3 it uses.
There are things you can do to aid the PS3 but all of them are real physical things that require actual effort on your part and not simply changing a couple of settings from the comfort of your sofa.
- Ensure the PS3 is on a flat, hard surface and not vertically. I know the early ones where designed to be vertical but physics 101, hot air rises, keeping the console vertical means the warmer air stays in the case longer.
- Make sure that the console has a clear amount of space of at least 2 inches around it. Make sure that hot air has somewhere is escape to. If it doesn't, all the consoles fans are going to be doing is pushing warm air through it not cooler air.
- If your console is sitting on a carpeted floor, congrats yours fans are clogged with dust and not working to their optimum performance. Carpets are also a great retainer of heat, its why we have carpets, so you might as well be keeping your console on a hotplate! Get it off the carpet!
- Don't keep newspaper, games magazine or games cases sitting on it. Heat rises and these will just trap it.
- Keep it clean. Heat and dust are your enemy. Every once in a while put a hoover nozzle near the vents (while the console is unpowered).
If you want to really go to town then replacing the thermal paste on the PS3 with quality product and not the cookie dough that Sony uses to keep costs down will also have a dramatic effect on the cooling for the PS3. Done it myself so I know that works.
