Re: Quake3 100% CPU usage

nope its quake3.exe thats at 99-100%.

the hint with openGL makes sens to me, but i dont know what you mean with "enable CCC.exe on startup", because my CCC is always on and in the taskbar.

maybe its a windows7 problem? i have ehard that win7 doesnt have opengl anymore?

edit: google tells me that opengl should be supportet within the ati drivers.

Re: Quake3 100% CPU usage

man windows 7 cant be without opengl .. opengl is free .. and except that q3 runs with opengl.. not with directx .. if entered in the mainmenu and didnt got a console error already it means you have opengl..

Re: Quake3 100% CPU usage

yep youre right.

but i mean its impossible that quake3 needs both cores at 100% to run. if i disable one core i get around 1fps, so it even NEEDS 100% cpu to run at least a bit smooth.

i beleave that the graphics card isnt used and that it runs only on cpu. the question is why?

Re: Quake3 100% CPU usage

When I had this problem I tried different drivers (also old directx i think) - not sure what helped. CCC was causing problems later, but if you running now it should be lack of drivers causing problem. Check: "setup>system>graphics>driver info" it should be full of GL extensions.

just like Shudder said there! lack of Gl extensions because of the drivers can be the causing problem .. less extensions means more cpu usage and less gpu and thats bad Tongue

"Setup>..." in game. List of extensions should look more or less like this:

Re: Quake3 100% CPU usage

i have alot less extensions there.

what now? Big grin

PS: i use the newest ati driver for hd6000 cards, the 10.10e.

i think older drivers i cant use because the hd6000 series is brand new and not supported by previous ones.
