Thanks, I couldn't tell what you were getting at from the picture of a head in a freezer.

Maybe Q3 is capped at 500 because it runs two passes on every frame?

I can't go over 1000 frames in Q2, won't go any higher.

yes, Im only getting 60fps now. The longer I have the game installed and play it seems the slower it gets on my comp.

You sure about that?

Edit: There are tricks with eight com_maxfps settings. Of course you know about 125, but I won't tell the others because you kids will abuse them. Some make you move faster and go farther when you hit jumppads, some make you stick to the ground and your jumps are about half the height. Some let you lag out the enemy you're shooting, believe it or not. It's a strange side effect that shouldn't have anything to do with anything, since it's a clientside feature. Oh well.

that looks like utter shit...try doing it in full detial n00b

You can't.

It lags after 600 and some FPS unless you dumb down the settings like that. You'll get CONNECTION INTERRUPTED.

So, any way to get over this?

Why would you EVER want to even attempt to get over this?

mebbe he wanted to know what fps he got on some new setup and simply noticed it stayed at a more than steady 500
