nSi-flip Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Now I know my computer is a little outdated (Celeron 500mhz, 320mb ram, Voodoo3) but i shouldnt get 10FPS in 640x480 with Low Detail and Textures... thats even using WickedGL. In Quake 3 I can get 70fps in 1024x768 with full everything, anyone have any tips to raise my FPS besides upgrading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaNg0 Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 If you are running 98 to ME, (i'm not sure about XP) the only things you should have running in your background (press alt+ctrl+delete)are systray and explorer everything else will hog your resources..I would also suggest that when you start to play do a fresh reboot of your system that way you get the highest amount of resources possible..

Erdrick Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 I have the same problem, same stats as you but only 256 ram....the game runs great in 800x600 with medium detail, until the start of the 3rd level..the mines. there the frame rate drastically drops even after switching everything on low, unless i look backwards then it goes back to normal...of course this only happens outside, once i got inside with all doors closed, it was fine. maybe its the voodoo??
