FPS going weird

Janner · Post by **Janner** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 12:47 pm

My FPS in AQ2 is kindof having its own mind. I can play 800x600 picmip 8 and 1024xdunnowhat with no picmip, both with 30 FPS. Then I tryed playing with 400x300 (yea I know, it sucks) and I saw that I have 100FPS! 320x240 is with 30FPS either, so I really have NO idea how to fix this....

You haven't messed up your gl_swapinterval setting?
Should be at 1.

Howto turn off vsync?

I seriously doubt that it's because if vsync anyway, since that would mean that he's running his monitor @ 30 hz

i think its a driver problem

Janner · Post by **Janner** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 8:45 am

Yea that could be. Where can I download good drivers?

what gfx card do you have? if it's ati, then get the new catalyst ones and unzip this into your q2 folder, http://action.marsmodule.com/misc/atioglxx.zip
if it's nvidia, then no tricks needed. :)

gl_finish is the vsync command for q2, use the same value with gl_swapinterval too, since they're kinda coaffecting to the fps.

Imeiz: I love you. I have 150 avarage fps now

! Finally some playable aq2! But there is 1 'but'. My screen is going weird with gl_swapinterval 1 (or 0, cant remember), and with gl_finish the FPS jumped up really! anyway, thanks imeiz ;D

EDIT: I can get 500fps with 400x300 now

Does that also work with mobile ati's? Got ati radeon 9700 pro 128mb in my laptop
