I exceed the sys req but the multiplayer gets laggy like crazy even playing 640 x 480 lowest settings. more than 4 or five poeple on screen at once kills my fps even with fps configs at upsetchaps.

amd 3200+
768 megs ram
geforce 7600gs

single player is fine.

aMD 3800+
1 GIG RAM.
Geforce 7900GT

Multiplayer lags alot when there are 10 players on screen shooting rockets at each other, but other than that MP works fine with a large crowd.

Also, I can run SP on high settings with 60 FPS so much of the time. My fps only dips if the displacement mapping thing is on or ultra is on.

Make sure you use q4max, and if you want some extra fps make sure you've got r_vertexlight 1.

If you want to gain a few more fps in q4max, then g_simpleitems 1 ; ui_showgun 0 will help, but most of your FPS will come from r_vertexlight.

is it true that fps is tied to your lag online? so when you have a big ping you will have less fps. pretty horrible if you ask me :<

you can also turn off playershadows ut I prefer to keep those on in case someone flies over me

I played Quake 4 on this machine:
Code:
Sempron (Athlon) 2200+
256MB RAM
Radeon 9550 128MB 128bit
At first i could not manage to make it run, but then i got the newest ati video driver and it worked. Well with such weak machine I had to set r_mode 3 but it was not a big problem :) Later i added more RAM and now it runs very good, having 63 fps constantly (still i doubt if it will reach 100/125 fps in 1.4 :icon32: )

My friends played on
Code:
Radeon 9200
Radeon 9250 (64MB 64bit afaik)


I suppose, even weaker hardware can be used to play Quake 4 =)
