Hi All- Since the traffic here is so high, thought I'd post something just for the heck of it. I've had 2 replacement PC's in the last several years at work. This most recent one is a 3.6 ghz with a 256 meg PCI Express card. But my framerate was sucking big time. Trying all the tweaks and changes I could got me from 35 FPS to 75. So I kept checking things in the config file and removing/changing stuff. I finally found what seems to be the bottleneck and now I get 130-150 fps. This line was in my config file (carried over from who-knows-when): set gl_ext_swapinterval "0" When I changed this to the two lines below the framerate doubled. set gl_ext_swapinterval "1" set gl_swapinterval "0" >>From http://f176.planetquake.gamespy.com/commands/cmd.html#give these are described as: gl_ext_swapinterval Default: 1 Values: (Toggle) Description: Setting this to "0" will disable the use of the gl_swapinterval command upon the next vid_restart. gl_swapinterval Default: 1 Values: (Integer) Description: This is the time delay between frame swaps so long as gl_ext_swapinterval is enabled. For fastest performance, set this to "0" So I don't know if this will help anyone but id did me. Glock P.S. - See you on Urban Warfare server.................
