Q3 G400 benchmarks: can you beat'em?

[absalom]

Doh! I spelled his name wrong too... *grin* Missed it by a lousy letter...

[Allan1]

I never really thought my name was that difficult until I started doing lots of stuff online about 5 years ago. Since then, I've seen it spelled a lot of different ways. You should see when people try to spell my last name (Briggs). Oh that's fun

The reason I chose those settings to test Q3 is because to me they represent the maximum visual quality I would like to use. I certainly don't play online like that. I usually drop it down to 800x600 and default colors so I can get a really smooth and really fast framerate. It's also a nice way to get reference numbers to compare when the next set of drivers come out. (sometime soon, please!!)

I'll give it a go on my system tonight when I get home.
System spec:
PIII 616 (550 O/C)
G400 Vanilla at 146, 194
SB Live
BE6
Quantum 13.6gb ULTRA 66 hdd.
will let you know.

HQ setting
640x480 38.2
Then I said wtf jump to 1024
1024x768 25.7

Custom Setting:
Color 32 bit
Lighting vertex
geo detail Low
Textures I guess mid (between the 6th and 7th slash)
texture quality Default
Bilinear filtering
1024x768 38.1 (I Happy)

Specs:
C366->550
64 RAM(Stop laughing I am midway between college and home righht now no extra money for more RAM)
IBM Deskstar 10.1
5.13 drivers not o/c

Sorry - I can´t beat'em :
22.4FPS@q3demo1
PIII500-G400MAX

When I originally posted this thread I was kind of hoping people would duplicate my Q3 settings and then we'd have something similiar to compare. I didn't really think people would start posting their framerates for configurations of what they consider playable. Oh well, you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men

Don't ask me how,I don't know.
Q3demo1=43.9fps
Q3demo2=43.5fps
Everything I can see is turned on high,32bit,tri-linear,vertex,etc. All at 1024x768

Sorry about all the redundant posts, but I did'nt get a confirmation. Seems like I'm not the only one. Server problem?

Aren't you getting such high FPS because of vertex lightning? On my MAX lightmap looks infinitely better than vertex... I would assume it is also slower (though I couldn't notice at 1024x768x32 Try the same bench with lightmap and see if you get a lower FPS (by about 10)
