  • plz post your Q3 scores

    I feel my Quake 3 scores are too low. My config. is :

    PIII 558
    Asus P2B-F
    128 megs
    SB PCI 128
    G400 32mb (o/ced to 115%)
    PDesk 5.30 (TurboGL enabled for Q3)
    DX7

    Running Q3 1.08 (q3test1), highest details at 1024*768, gives me 23 fps. 800*600 gives me ~35 fps. If you indeed get better scores with a similar config., any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    P3 450
    64mb RAM
    Abit BE6
    G400 32mb
    MX300

    Getting 53 fps in 800x600, 32 bit colour, texture detail one notch down from maximum. You're right, your figures do sound a little low. Sorry, no advice though.

      Q3Test 1.08 on "High" Setting, with bilinear filtering (Rather than triliean) at 800x600@32bit, 60.8 fps, see specs below.
      At 1024x768@32bit its a bit stickier, 38.8fps, again, bilinear filtering.
      Definately try switching to bilinear, as trilinear seems to drop performance quite a bit.
      Heh. My how times change ... with my G200 i would have LOVED to get 38fps in even 800x600, yet now I find that unplayable for 1024x768 =) 800x600 seems to be the only res i can play at anymore, at least in Q3Test.

      Q3test's demo1 is a rather shitty demo, imho, as its too short and can be influenced by silly things like hard drive reads at inappropriate times. I usually hear one "read" during demo1, but if there are 2, 3 or more, i've seen an up to 5fps drop. Ouch.
      As much as I prefer q3arena's gameplay, unreal tourney's timedemo (min, max, average, current fps) is far superior, and i can only hope ID implements something similar.
