[Unofficial] The Next FL Map?

[User 12049]

Alrighty, since there has been a lot of discussion regarding the performance of the maps, I did a recording of average FPS while flying around in the city area of the map.
I tested V5P, V2D (Sexy V3), Old V2D ,V33X and PinesCity.

SPECS:
GTX1080
i5-6600K (OC: 4.0GHz)
16GB Ram

I recorded the average FPS using MSI Afterburner's FPS recording feature.

V5P While online on the server:
06-05-2018, 20:05:02 hl2.exe benchmark completed, 3452 frames rendered in 51.687 s
                     Average framerate  :   66.7 FPS
                     Minimum framerate  :   20.8 FPS
                     Maximum framerate  :   91.8 FPS
                     1% low framerate   :    1.8 FPS
                     0.1% low framerate :    1.8 FPS


V5P Offline/Singleplayer:

                     Minimum framerate  :  139.5 FPS
                     Maximum framerate  :  285.9 FPS
                     1% low framerate   :  111.5 FPS
                     0.1% low framerate :   65.8 FPS

V33X:

                     Maximum framerate  :  283.9 FPS
                     1% low framerate   :   53.5 FPS
                     0.1% low framerate :   15.4 FPS



PinesCity:

                     Average framerate  :  222.0 FPS
                     Minimum framerate  :  124.3 FPS
                     Maximum framerate  :  284.7 FPS

                     0.1% low framerate :   88.9 FPS


While the V2D maps do have higher average FPS in the benchmarks, it is not exactly the final result as it may change when there are players and props. 

My personal opinion:
Keep in mind that while V2D does have higher FPS, it is due to the map quality being lower and generally being outdated. In this sense, it's a sacrifice of quality for few extra frames. Having a 35-45 FPS difference in singleplayer, it might very well be a 5-10 fps difference on the server or barely noticeable.
Also comparing PinesCity and V5P, it is pretty much same performance wise so saying that the map performs worse isn't really accurate. At the same timePinesCity is a jump forward in quality and new content, which is good to keep in mind.

V33X was a lag fest, if you're honestly going to get Pines on the server which is even laggier how do you expect people with bad PCs like Tomo and Falcao to play?
