I run quake 2 on win XP pro. I get constant 60 fps. I forget how to get
around this. I think there was a bug that made XP revert to 60 fps refresh
rate while q2 was running. This does NOT happen in other games. TIA

I can set the refresh rate to any setting aboce 60, also v-sync is off ingame and in vid card settings...I still get 60fps in timedemo and timerefresh. I know I dealt with this before, it was something simple, I just seem to have forgotten. >> Stay informed about: speaking of timedemos

BTW, in Q3 I get around 400 - 600 fps if I set maxfps to 0 @1024 x 768. >> Stay informed about: speaking of timedemos

Oops, I lied, that was a lower resolution. at 1024 x 768 I just got 220fps in q3. >> Stay informed about: speaking of timedemos

It's an Athalon XP 2800+. I think my big boost came when I put in a GeForce 6800 GT. So I could play Doom3. Which I ban now much better. But I got an improvement in all other games as a bonus. 6800s? I recommend them. Spendy though. >> Stay informed about: speaking of timedemos
