Topic Starter	Topic: What is the best q3config.cfg for a G5 ?
Kali Grunt Joined: 23 Sep 2002 Posts: 66	Posted: 08-18-2005 01:05 PM                  I just got a new G5 Dual 2.0 GHz with ATI X850XT video card. I have a fast connection to the internet, and I want to play Quake3 in the best, very high quality mode, with all "bells and whistles". The monitor is Apple's 20" LCD. I want Quake to play at the highest resolution for this monitor (1680 X 1050). Can you post the best q3config.cfg file which could do the job ? Thanks.

Custom configuration should be increasing com_hunkmegs to 256 or so to allot more memory to Q3 and do the custom aspect ratio thing to suit your monitor's resolution.

Those 2 pages should have the same (or at least near same) in terms of quality. Put one of them in baseq3, and if you like it, then go into the menu and alter the sensitivity and controls to your tastes. Also, in your graphics cards control panel, turn everything on high, such as anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. And voila!
