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?

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.

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?
