Q3 Optimal Config?

[THME]

I have a P2-350 with G400 and the frame rate is slower than my old Voodoo2 Card. I have the newest drivers, the TurboGL driver and the intaller but the card still runs slower than my old Canopus. I have been told to get the "OpenGL Wrapper". Any help here? What should I be doing?

Are you using the TGL driver with it? if not you can download from the MURC homepage. give that a try and see if it helps.

The G400 really does need a fast processor to become competitive in the openGL arena. Anyone that has a slower cpu, I always recommend them to go with a Voodoo based card...and try turning doen the setting a notch or two - 32-bit textures is a killer at high resolutions! GoodLuck

This is a remake of autoexec from the bind that I use It is for speed and not looks but I manage to get 72fps in 800x600x16 on demo001. You can just cut and paste it in notepad and name it autoexec.cfg and put it in baseq3 folder. It gives you a description of what each one does. You will prolly need to change the m_yaw, m_pitch and sensativity settings(I play fast with a fast mouse).
