First off, very new at this so don't beat me up too much. This post will, I'm sure, be spotted with dumb questions. Oh well, gotta learn sometime.
Ok, first question...How do you know if you are running with the Turbo GL drivers in Q3A? When I go to System Options for setup, I get two choices, Default and Voodoo. Nothing about Turbo GL. (I have installed the latest drivers from Matrox...at least I think I did.) As far as the GL Extentions, I have tried both ON and OFF. I'm asking these questions because I just don't think I am getting what I should be getting out of the G400 MAX. AND, I am locking up pretty often in Multiplayer Mode. I've recently learned how to get fps rates during game which I feel is not what it should be. Seeing as low as 17 fps and not much higher then 30 something. I've tried just about every combination in the settings without much success. I guess I was kinda hoping that someone could suggest optimum settings for me and any other suggestions and ideas.
Also, is there a timedemo test that you can run from the console in Q3A like I did in Quake2 to to show performance??
A quick take on my system: PIII 500, 256 ram, G400 MAX dual head (da! of course!) Sound Blaster Live, WD 18.1 HD, Creative Encore 6X DVD drive, and viewing in all it's glory, a ViewSonic 21PS monitor (.25mm Ultra Fine). I am running Q3A in the 1024 X 768 video mode. Have tried lower settings without and improvements.
Sorry if this is sort of long and any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I left something important out but figure this is a start. Thanks
