Archived from groups: alt>games>quake2 (more info?)
For quite some time, I've been puzzling over why Q2 consistently gets a
lower FPS than Q3 on my system.

Then tonight it hit me: cl_maxfps was left at the default value!
So I boosted it up to a more appropriate value of 200 and benchmarked.
197.7 FPS on demo2.dm2.

So I thought, let's see if it'll go higher. Boosted it to 300. Ran the
demo again.
210.3 FPS! w00t w00t!

Then I ran Crusher.dm2.
119.9 FPS! Another w00t! Very Happy

thats strange. My cl_maxfps is still at whatever the default is, and I just
tried crusher at 1024x768 with 4xaa and 8x af and scored 286.2 fps ;op
