Maximum FPS didn't go up after upgrade

Previous upgrades have gone from 50 to 70 to 90 Maximum FPS but this latest showed no change even though the CPU speed was doubled and the video board is 5 times faster. The amateur
maps that have low framerates still may dip to 30 FPS or stop for a second. Try some of these maps that are easily found with a search and see how they work.

well, what do you have your framerate capped at?

Jump into a map and brind down the console...then type /com_maxfps 125

Then see what it goes to.

o, didn't see that. System specs?

Or /com_maxfps 0 for that matter.

Also, to do a benchmark in Quake 3, at the menu, bring down the console, type
\timedemo 1
\demo four

Quake'll then whiz through a demo that ships with Quake 3, and then when its finished and you're back at the menu, bring down the console again to see your average FPS for that demo.
