  • What about your QUAKE 3 settings?

    Well, I'd like to play Q3A at 1600x1200 with all the settings to the max and at 100+ fps, but when i reach this point i wake up and realise that, for now, no one can do that...

    Seriously now, I'd like to know what settings do you use in Q3, because i know people who would do anything for one more fps while others are more concerned with the visual aspect (i kinda fall in the second category...)

    Here are my benchmarks (done with demo001):
    800x600 NORMAL 61,0
    800x600 HQ 46,2
    1024x768 NORMAL 35,9
    1024x768 HQ 27,4
    Nothing to brag about, that's why I started this topic...so my current settings are 800x600 HQ except :geometry is set to high, bilinear filtering is used, and in the game settings menu the only thing on is HQ sky...
    With this setting i get 54,6 fps with Demo001 and 46,4 fps with Quaver...

    Also, my 3DMark2000 score is 2265 (default benchmark)...yes, another "dinger"...

    I wonder if the new 5.53 drivers (yes, the unofficial ones) would be a great improvement...I never had problems with the 5.52, so i'd like to know if it's worth changing them...

    BTW, does anyone have cheat codes for NFS5 (all cars and all tracks)...and yes, it runs like crap compared to the NFS3 and NFS4...and when i think to the sensation of speed in REDLINE RACER...nothing can compare to that...


    About the two identical posts on two forums...yes, my bad, but i'm new around here and i entered the gaming forum first (following a link) so i never knew then that there was also a hardware forum...which seemed more appropriate for my topic...anyway, i got feedback from both forums and for that i'd like to thank you all guys for your time...
