UseTheForce Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Eh.... I'd much rather run the game at high resolution, color depth, and texture quality and get mediocre framerate than have jaggy, low-quality graphics with flat colors and have high framerates. As long as I can keep it at 30 fps or higher, I'm happy- like I said, when you watch television you're seeing 30 fps, and it's never been a problem. Oh, and I have a question- what, exactly, is VSync? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mInk3nine Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 watching a television, watching your grandparents old 8mm movies, and playing a rendered game are totally different, those rules don't exactly apply when it comes to jedi knight, quake, or any first person shooter. I know i know, the human eye can't see past 60 frame rates a second, but the difference between 60 frames and 90 or 125 frames in relation to the games we play are huge. our eyes may not be able to pick it up, but our computer's hardware can most definetly vouch i'm sure.

Ah Boon Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 i have this really weird OT dumb and downright stupid question. if i get average of 70-80 fps, will I reach 120fps in q3 or other q3 engine game? i think jk2 is different cause raven really tweaked its engine to the max and well, its a processor and ram w.h.o.r.e. so, wut do u guys think? is there a time demo or something from q3 that i can download to test my fps? i know, i might sound wierd but i am really happy with my system and wants it up to max. did i mention that my whole pc is black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mInk3nine Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 definetly. i get 211 frames using the timedemo four.dm_66 in 1024x768. in jediknight knight i get half that, so that just proves how much the quake3 engine has been tweaked to suit jediknight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
