i have a quad-core q6600 2.4ghz ,4 gigs of ram , g9 logitech laser mouse, crt 19 inches monitor and my video card is alpha dog 8800gt nvidia , so why my quake is kinda slow?my mouse movements slow?any ideas?tweak my nvidia card?need help, video vsync is off, what can it be?thanks you!

You really failed in describing what the problem is, so only way of replying here is to ask more questions:

1) what OS do you have?
2) have you installed all the required drivers?
3) what client are you using?
4) are you running GL or software?
5) what kind of gfx settings do you have in your client?

Maybe some settings in this post about optimal video settings for nvidia cards and qw can help.

um... have you tried "universal solution" for quake-engine games? "Disable thread optimization" in nvidia control panel if i remember correctly.

The "universal solution" actually decreases your fps on multi-core systems. For example 3GHz core2duo with GTX 260 gives 758fps threaded optimization on and 734fps threaded optimization off. The difference is 3,1% but with lesser card like 8800GT the difference was even more pronounced, up to 10% difference favoring threaded optimization turned on (gigabyte turboforce 8800gt in this particular case).

i have windows xp sp3 installed in my computer,but i also had sp2 installed, my quake is slow on both, yes i have installed all drivers, i am using ezquake 1.93 beta,but i was using the 1.92 and i was having the same problems as well,i am running gl, dunno how to run software,i have fastest gfx setting in my client!

i did Disable thread optimization once, but it didn't change anything!i can't even make big jumps

jumps?

btw for play in software you only need to download ezquake installer and click the option while installing, this will make 2 client exes, ezquake-gl.exe (gl quake) and ezquake.exe (software)

jumps, thats right, imy computer is slow, so..it is impossible, something is really off, this is a nice computer to play quake, right?

well mayb something wrong with your config, i have amd 2 cores, 8600gt, 4gb ram and it runs rlly smooth (with tft screen) so i can send u my cfg fot test...

Maybe something in here will help: http://wiki.quakeworld.nu/Smooth_quake (smooth quake as in "fast quake" )

hey time!, can you send your cfg?i play with 640x480 resolution?my crt can reach 150hz?can you tweak it for me please?thanks a lot!!

all you guys who really tried to help me, i d'like to say THANKS!
