  • G450 and Q3a framerate

    I have P3-517/256/G450-32DDR
    Q3a timedemo Demo002 shows about 33fps at
    640x480/16bpp/16bit textures/lightmap/hi texture detail.
    Is it ok that kick-ass G450 works only 1.5 times faster than my old monster3d or i can do anything to boost the game?

    Turn the texture detail down 1 notch. This will give a large boost.

      Actually just about 2-3 fps and 1 fps maximum at texture level 1 or 2.
      I played with all Q3a parameters.
      Real boost can be obtaind by turning off lightmaps (5-7 fps), then follows mark on walls (2-3 fps) and "cg_draw3dicons 0"
      BTW, I'm playing with "r_drawsun 1", that steals 2-3 fps in some places.
      BUT! I just wanted to know, is that maximum perfomance of G450 or not and what happens if i set AGP2x and OGL optimize by speed in matrox tweak utility?
