260? Is that all?

[Andyddr]

My system:

Athlon 2800xp
Epox 8K9A2 ( KT400 ) FSB clocked at 190MHz
Kingston 400MHz ValueRam ( Set at `Ultra` in BIOS )
Ati 9800PRO
40gig WD 8 Meg cache 7200rpm HD
80gig " " "

My question is the demo of Quake3 Arena runs at an average of 260 fps ( at 1024x768 - 32bit Tex Depth,32bit colour and highest tex quality, no sound ). From what I`ve read on the net it sould be around 320 or more fps. Even at 640X it is showing the same results. Anyone have a similar system?

The video guide on toms had 9800p get around 180 at 1024x768. Dunno how did you get 260 and not happy. :tongue:

Anyway to get 320+fps in quake3, i think you need 640x480, with 16bits colour and medium detail...

Okay tried it at lowest settings ( 16 bit everything ) 640x480 and still it won`t go higher than 260?
