Quake Frame Rates

[Murder_Inc]

I own a ATI 9700 Pro card. After seeing reviewers use Quake III for benchmarking and get up to 300 fps, why can I only get no more than 90. I got 120 on my Voodoo 5 so this kinda blows.

I have all latest drivers for everything as well as DX9. Here is the system:

9700 Pro
Asus A7N8X MOBO
512MB Corsair Xtreme Memory
AMD 2700+ CPU

3D Mark = 16000

Any input would be helpful.

Thanks

There's a cap by default in Quake 3. Bring down the console and type:

/com_maxfps 300

or

/cg_maxfps 300

I can't recall which.

It's the first.

/com_maxfps 300

120 should be fast enough.
