alright i KNOW quake (and quakeworld) is old, but its still the best fps out there

ANYWAY, i have an athlon running at 950mhz and a Geforce DDR/256, on win2k (though i get exactly the same framerate in winme). i run my desktop at 1280x1024x32bpp, and quakeworld at the same res/bpp. now, i would think that with my setup the geforce would be in heaven and be absolutely pumping along at well over 100fps. but i only get a maximum of 60fps, and am after more. the max quake can do is 72fps (its limited somewhere in the code) and it runs incredible at that framerate, eaiser tricks etc. so what am i doing wrong? like i said i would expect a geforce to fly, especially on an old game like quake. but it doesnt. any suggestions? thanks

oh yeah, and even if i run quake at 640x480x8bpp i still get the same framerate. if i take my destop res down to 800x600 say, i get 72fps, but i love 1280x1024 too much

i dunno if this helps, but i asked a friend a couple months ago if i could run Doom 2 on a super fast computer and blow everyone else away. he said i couldnt becuase theres only so much that one program can do
are you sure that the max is 72fps? hell, 60 should be enough, even for quake
btw, Doom Legacy fucking 0wnz j00.

60fps was adopted as a standard, because the average human eye can only comprehend about 50 fps... therefore making whatever you're watching look "real"

I have a question: many people are obsessed with getting 200 fps but are only running a monitor with a refresh rate of 80 hz. Now I am probably wrong here, but wouldn’t a monitor refresh rate of 80 hz mean that you are only going to see 80 fps regardless of the fact that your GeForce 9 is pumping out 12 billion fps?

dammit i never said anything about it being visibly low fps, i said quake runs best at 72fps. longer jumps, higher rjumps etc. stuff that is actually noticable, and independant of monitor

Framerates are like the bigger dick syndrome. 60 is plenty. 300 is excess.
