Hi there,
I run q3 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I have 4GB DDR3-PC 10600, ATI HD4350 1GB DDR2, CPU Phenom X2 @3.1Ghz, all core allowed to Q3.

I play on a 28'' LCD so I like to have 1920x1200 and cg_fov 130.

Ingame I tried every graphics settings to improve my framerate but I never reached to have a stable framerate at 125fps. I have "fps drops", but I reached to make it more rarely. IThere is now "fps drops", its 80-125fps when I watch the score or when many players are shooting bfg or lightninggun and 110-125 everytime ingame.

Many players told me I must to reach 250fps stable with my hardware, because they run q3 on a less powerful hardware and have 250fps stable easily.

Of course every drivers are up-to-date and my computer is very clean. I use Kaspersky 2011, MalwareBytes, Crab Cleaner and Defraggler. I dont run any theme or graphic shit on my system.

Any idea or any help about this? Happy

Thanks for any answer.

Looks like some compatibility problems exist with ati/amd graphics cards. All last threads about fps drops was with this cards. Cant actually help, cause I have never used it, but try to monitor how busy is you gpu and video memery (in game, not minimized), temperature, gpu/mem/shader clocks. Maybe you'll see some strange things. And also check your cpu loads. GPU-Z shows some useful information on sensors tab.

It is not a general hardware problem, otehrwise i would have this to with my ATI card (signature), i have not such a really high resolution like him, i play just at 1920 x 1980 but still on highest details and my fps number on the upper right does not shake even.

Your ATI HD4350 has lower memory bandwidth/fillrates than my old Nvidia 7600GS(AGP) on which I'm have same things even on lower resolution (1680x1050)

Upgrade to something like Radeon HD 4670 or better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ATI_GPUs look on memory bandwidth and texture fillrate - bigger are better

Re: FPS<125 whereas POWERFUL HARDWARE?

All right, I know the problem now. I talk with only "stable fps" :

1920x1200 fov 130 : 40fps

1920x1200 fov 110 : 60fps

1600x1200 fov 130 : 90fps

1600x1200 fov 110 : 110fps

1280x1024 fov 130 : 115 fps

1280x1024 fov 110 : 125fps

1024x768 fov 130 : 260 fps

1024x768 fov 110 : 550 fps

800x600 fov 130 : 650fps

800x60 fov 110 : 999fps

So I must to play with r_mode 7 now and fov 100 or 110 (and r_picmip 12) in wait to buy a better GPU to reach

1920x1200 fov 130 : 999fps

use r_picmip 11 instead of 12, 11 is the maximum value allowed by punkbuster.
