Quake II FPS

[Ruffian]

How do i find out how many FPS i am getting in Quake II? What buttons do i push before typing it in, and what do i type in?

Bring down the console (~), type timedemo 1 (enter) then type demomap demo1.dm2 (or demo2.dm2 for the second demo) and press enter again. Once the demo plays through, it will show you the total frames played and the fps score.

you do not type demomap, just map demo1.dm2

I just laughed at that. Whats next, higherfps ... and i get playable 1600x1200 quake 3 ?

I'm sorry that was mean.

Either way works, but in case you haven't patched to versions greater than 3.05, the "map" won't work.

I can get over 25fps on crusher.dm2 at 1600x1200x32 on a p2-450 (non-overclocked) on a tnt2u (also non-overclocked)

Actually I run version 3.20. I got into the 3D accelerator/benchmarking a little later than most (about a little over a year ago). My monitor only does 1280x960 and I get 35fps in crusher, but I get 60 at the same resolution in Demo1.dm2.

The only place I had seen demomap at was one of the older Quake3 testdemos.

Nobodies perfect.

Sorry for jumping down your throat Todd A; I was in a very bad place yesterday You're probably right about the demomap.
