iam sitting on a gf6800le and i keep getting these drops from 77 down to stable 76 then 74, thats how it goes mostly.. now i think that must be bc of drivers. So what drivers do you use?

most recent drivers here (84.21) on my gf4 ti4200 agp8x

no drops at all. 200fps@ezquake

latest drivers, 84.21 on gforce 6800GT
stable 154 fps in ezquake

I also have a Geforce 6800LE, I have experienced these fps drops IF I have my webbrowser on when playing quake, however if I turn it off I got stable 77 fps and with cl_maxfps 0 I have about 500 fps (on personal server ofc)

I used the forceware from nVIDIA before but Ive changed now to an omega driver, you could try them

Download at www.omegadrivers.com

Also, some admin, move this to the "Help" section

84.25 6800GT, playing with stable 232 fps and lots of eyecandy 3>

and ofcourse no virusscanner

84.21 gf3ti-200 150fps stable 1024x768 antialising 2x ansiotropic filter 2x and eyecandy..

I also get fpsdrops with firefox running

humm looks like firefox might be the problem.. gona test

Usually there are sites (mostly ones containing flash) that hogs cputime in Firefox. You can easily spot it if you press ctrl-alt-del and look at the CPU use for the processes. If firefox has a troublesome page open it usually has a steady CPU usage of at least 5-20% sometimes more. For some reason it bugs the hell out of qw and you get a noticable decrease in video performance although the CPU doesn't look extremely busy.

no thats not it for me.. still got it

Try www.omegadrivers.net then

i would give the BETA-drivers a try, works like there is nothing to it.

OK QUESTION:::::


HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE USING HIGHER THEN 77FPS IN QUAKEWORLD???

Do some servers allow it? I imagine id like to play with 120fps over 77fps.. somone fill me in...

1. ezquake
2. independent physics

3. suck both and never get the same feeling with server enabled high fps

sure you don't since it's not what it's meant for
still, it gives VERY smooth game when stable fps==Hz 154/154 for ex., and is good for your eyes

Nope, it doesn't give a smooth feeling, that's the point. It feels a lot more choppy than using 60 fps/60 Hz configuration.

ever tried with cl_nolerp 0?

Tweak your Windows XP services. Most often these background processes interrupt your CPU and create these hiccups. See my Quakeworld setup thread for details. http://quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1023

Looks ok from what I can gather although not too many CRTs will do 154Hz in any resolution
(I managed to tweak it to 132hz/66fps here on my ooold 17 incher).
However I notice some jitter in the framerate (very fast tearing I guess), especially going around corners and other vertical contrasted structures. Guess I'm spoiled comming from vsynch where
everything is always smooth as silke.

err, you'd have(!) to get 77 fps at least with 132hz man :/
Immy I'm filling you in, just server-admins and well, whole community doesn't

Phys 77fps on 132Hz creates too much jitter for my taste. Best I can do is to get a new
monitor which can handle higher refresh rates.

phys fps?
just max_fps 77 :/

In EzQuake, when you enable independent physics, you use "cl_physfps" to define
the in-game framerate which is independent of cl_maxfps. So in my case I've set
cl_physfps to 66 and cl_maxfps to 500 (just to be on the safe side).

I found that when cl_physfps is exactly half the display refresh the jitter/irregular
framerate is minimal although not as smooth as using vsynch.


Since there are claims that using vsynch introduces input lag on mouse inputs
I though maybe that's why I royally suck in midair, even at 8ms lag, so I've dicided
to try without it for a while. :-)

try that:

independentphysics 1, maxfps 0, vid_displayfrequency 150, nolerp 0, physfps 0

drivers: NGO 91.47 (6600GT) -> http://www.ngohq.com

ye I know paradizer, but try not to use it?

Looks good!

Thank's, but it's too much out of synch for my taste.
