So where's the max FPS configs?

[Fender]

I checked the sticky and didn't see anything...
If I can't stop these dips down to 20 FPS I'll leave the box unopened and return it.

For reference:
2.3 GHz Athlon (should be ~3200 speeds)
256 MB 9800 Pro
768 MB RAM

tweaking the cfg didnt show any big fps boost with me, it only turns it into something ulgyer than q3
try the tmp map pack that will do the trick

[jester!]

Negative, you can get around 20 more fps vs the default low config with this, or atleast I did. Some of that may be single player shit...

Well, I enabled some of the r_skip* cvars that weren't listed in the menus and changed my LOD to 1 from 0. That helped quite a bit, but I really can't belive they didn't nomip the icons and font shaders. wtf is that about? At least that can be fixed w/ mod.

Thanks jester!, I'll compare our configs to see what else I can try.

hehe aye fender, i couldn't believe the fonts were unreadable after i had butchered the graphix.

Just download the x battle mod and the drachfps maps, and find servers using the mod. Get on the server and type r_lightdetaillevel 9. Voila, high fps. Stuff vq4, it's shit.

I tweaked my config a bit more and updated my ati drivers. I'm now in the 50s more often than not with dips in to the 30s instead of the 20s.

I had a pretty good run last night on id's demo server. I think I came in 2nd 1 time over the course of a couple hours and won the rest. fun fun fun.
