For quite some time, I've been puzzling over why Q2 consistently gets a lower FPS than Q3 on my system. Then tonight it hit me: cl_maxfps was left at the default value! So I boosted it up to a more appropriate value of 200 and benchmarked. 197.7 FPS on demo2.dm2. So I thought, let's see if it'll go higher. Boosted it to 300. Ran the demo again. 210.3 FPS! w00t w00t! Then I ran Crusher.dm2. 119.9 FPS! Another w00t! :D -- -- "I see what the nhh-stars do, because so fair is their shape; it is well for me with them and it is well for them. I am a nhh-star, the companion of a nhh-star, I become a nhh-star, and I will not suffer for ever." EvilBill - http://www.evilbill.co.uk My Quake2 FTP site: ftp://65.30.181.223/quake2/EvilBill/

My cl_maxfps is still at whatever the default is, and I just tried crusher at 1024x768 with 4xaa and 8x af and scored 286.2 fps ;op -- Margolis http://web.archive.org/web/20030215212142/http://www.agqx.org/faqs/AGQ2FAQ.htm http://www.unrealtower.org/faq
