i think this would be cool to see.

back in the day i would fire up zquake, turn off every setting possible (even turn off entities), draw flat textures etc., and try to squeeze out 600 fps on a tiny map facing the wall. now adays with a fat cpu and vid card i can get 600fps in ezquake without even trying. i haven't tried maxing out the fps recently.

The challenge:
i'd like to see what people can come up with for a maximum FPS in quake, try for personal best, and overall best! nicest looking high fps, worst looking high fps, see who can get the highest! can we break 1500fps, 2000fps? i've seen over 1000fps in fuhquake using full textures/particles a few years ago.

The rules
1. must be inside of a quake map
2. must use "timerefresh" or similar command
3. must provide unedited screenshot/video displaying results

after a few really high results, maybe share your secrets , what client, what commands are you using?

any other rules you guys can think of, let me know.. (maybe a limit to how low of a resolution?)

also please dont fotoshop fake fps (i've done it before :~) ), its really not worth it, this is just for fun.

i'll be testing over the next day and post back with some results.

________________________ R_NOREFRESH 1 CHAMPION ________________________

here's one to start it off:

1396 FPS
EZquake
resolution: 1280x1024
map: 1on1r (a TF map)

here's mine

2989 FPS
Ezquake
resolution 1280x1024
map: dm2

EDIT: just beat it with this

3688 FPS
Ezquake
resolution 1280x1024
map: dm3

hahaha are you kidding me - whats your rig?

amd athlon x2 64 fx-60 dual core 2.6ghz
xfx geforce 7800gtx 512mb overclocked slightly to 575mhz core and same memory of 1.70ghz.
2gb corsair ddr ram
asus a8n32-sli deluxe mobo
17" old dell crt 140hz @ 1280x1024

plus numerous nvidia related tweaks and amd processor patches to get the system running nice


if i timedemo fps.qwd i get a shit fps of around 400, used to be 200-ish before a few tweaks to the card, drivers and opengl handling etc.

if i play with cl_maxfps 0 (no limiter) then i average approximately 1800fps in a 4on4 on dm3 with the same gfx setup as the screenies above.

dont know why timerefresh is alot different but hey ho.

Ha, suckers:

e1m6
fov 1
viewsize 1
fastest menu setting in ezquake
640x480 i think

edit: Oh, I misunderstood the topic. Sorry.

8972 fps

3700+ @ 4103MHz
2 * 8800 ( only used one cuz of SLI bug! )
4098mb RAM

viewsize 1 fov 1 800x600 @ 85hz

6610 in ezquake

6811 in fuhquake

It was at the exact same location but for some reason i got 200 more there

r_drawflat might result in lower fps btw ;]

3080 FPS
EzQuake
320x240
textureless, not dinamic lights, no caustics, no fov, viewsize 1, fov 0, texturemip linear, flat textures, nosound, ... no hwblend, etc...
map intro (the difficult settings map), at the Nightmare teleporter.

11,602 FPS

EzQuake, 800x600, fov 1, viewsize 1, dm3 lifts.

System?

16,384 FPS, same place and settings as before.

Athlon X2 4600+, 1GB RAM, 7300GT.

rrrrrooooofl

16384!
its 2^14
i believe you can't beat this.
Think its client top number for fps.

Now beat this:



16,777,216 fps
ZQuake, 640x480

67,896,250 fps

ZQuake - 320x240, windowed, viewsize 1, fov 1

does zquake have r_drawworld ? :>

lmao, I thought it was s'posed to be in your qw-setup or smth
this is just pure lame... not impressive

so did i peppe, hence why mine is a straight timerefresh from my qw setup :/

altho some of those fps counts are f*****g high haha

In my opinion it would be more interesting with a competition where you would try to get the fastest _playable_ setup possible. Then maybe people could download those configs and use them on their old 400mhz computers etc :p

you people are just jealous on my record.. har-har-har

ake_vader, perhaps if we used timedemo, not timerefresh?

You all n00b muahahahaha

¡¡¡¡Try beating this!!!!!



Machine used for that:

Processor: 4xIntel Anihilator at 20000 MHz each processor
Ram: 6xDDR5 at 5 GHz, 10 Gb each module, not with dual channel, octochannel
Graphical: 2xSLI NVidia GeForce Quake1 edition at 5 GHz core speed, with 10 Gb Ram

The image has been reduced, cause the original resolution was 8000x6000

Someone wanna beat this? lol

rofl

lol so it looks like "r_norefresh 1" and the limit at 16,384 FPS just borked this?

i have a really spammy demo that some people used to benchmark with called "overkill.qwd"

we could do timedemos with that, what do u think, got a better benchmarking demo?

there is a benchmark demo that comes with fquake.. why not use it since we all got fquaek installed (or do we?)

get it from here: http://quakeworld.nu/forum/viewtopic.php?id=1541

Normally I don't laugh at such things, but this time you made me spit out my lunch

you have some scraping to do then.. good luck

ehm no?
