AddictIII Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 I recently bought a new videocard, a geforce 6800gt. But i only get about 100fps in jk2. I have a P4 3ghz cpu and 1gb memory. Anyone knows what is causing this low framerate ? A friend of me get's 280fps with a geforce 5950ultra. I already did com_maxfps 99999. i'm using the original nvidia drivers. Thx !

RoxStar Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Have you gotten any of the available patches for the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riceplant Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Wait a minute, let me get this straight... You think 100fps is a bad fraterate? Framerate isn't even noticeable until it gets down around 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddictIII Posted October 17, 2005 Author Share Posted October 17, 2005 It is a bad framerate for that videocard, normally i should at least get 200 so something is wrong. I installed the 1.04 patch of the game so i don't know what could possibly be wrong anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â i usually play with 90 but i notice it when it drops to 60 but still it would be useless to have any higher than 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 optimal framrate for q3 based games is 120fps to aid in strafe jumping. anyway, other things that might be affecting your fps are cpu speed, your motherboard, and ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Y Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Oh man... I don't even get above 80... and in lightsaber action im on 20-30 fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XidZenTurres Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Write in console (Shift+~)"com_maxfps 999" and u see what this card can really do:) Â MTFBWY Xid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroX2 Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 optimal framrate for q3 based games is 120fps to aid in strafe jumping. Are you sure? I thought it was 43, 76, and 125 FPS that does that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Are you sure? I thought it was 43, 76, and 125 FPS that does that. i've only ever heard 120 fps, where did you hear those numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroX2 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 i've only ever heard 120 fps, where did you hear those numbers? Many places. I always see/hear people say that due to a numerical error in the engine or some such, frame rates locked at 43, 76, or 125 affect movement in some way, aiding in strafe jumping and the like.

Crow_Nest Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 Yeah Quake 3 engine is capable of 120FPS, usually not higher than that. Besides you've already got 100FPS why bother? You wont notice any difference between 100 FPS and 200 FPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
