It means that you are very cpu limited.
 
Either that, or you have vsync turned on and you are maxing out at the refresh rate limit of your monitor (I presume you aren't refering to your system specs, which are hardly limited in any sense of the word 🙂.
 
i was doing benchmarks in q3 comparing to the new p4 3.2 review. some reason my system doset get over 260fps doing the same demo. iv tried changing every setting and nothing gets it higher.

somethings wrong somewhere.

not that 260 is low or anything, but hyey are getting over 400fps. im using a1.32 of q3, but that should reduce the rates by that much.

edit: im running the new 3.5 ati drivers. maybe ill try the 3.4's and see what happens.

What do you get in 3DMark 2k1 and 2k3? For all you who will flame me for reccomending this... its just to see if the problem is with Quake3 or something else...
