Quake 2 in 16 bits?

Post by ShAdY »

i have a gf4 mx440 64mb, and i was wondering if its possible turn my aq2 in 16b, like voodoo (3dfx)

i dont have too much fps, with 16b i think that could be better, right?

arent the original aq2 textures 8-bit? either that or 16-bit.. but definitely not 32-bit (hence the retexturing efforts). so if you stick with the original textures that should be the lower quality you're seeking.

but i have a geforce4 MX440 64mb as well, and aq2 runs with ~60fps for me - quite smoothe. if you're having problems the bottleneck may be the CPU. mine's a 800mhz P3..

If you download porn, and get a million viruses then a GeForce4 MX440 64MB cant take AQ2 @ 60PFS quite smoothe. But else, Yes

set it to 0. in that way you will turn off the v_sync, you will gain fps :D

Just put vertical syncronization "always off" in your vid card settings. I don't know what it is, but it worked for me ;p

he has a p3 1.1 ghz.
with a celeron 600 and a 3dfx i made 1024 fps
beavis rules
so turn off that shitty sync useing gl_swapinterval 0 and you will gain LOT of fps. then you could also sett off extswapinterval to gain more fps...
