Low FPS in Quake III

[BitByBit]

My framerate with Quake III seems to be stuck at 91 FPS, according to FRAPS.
I've tried lowering my quality settings to minimal, with no effect.
I'd expect this system to be acheiving 200+ FPS, and I don't see how my GPU could be responsible for such a low framerate.
Any ideas?

I saw the same thing when I was trying to benchmark it....I have the demo, but it seemed stuck at 91 fps whether my cpu was 1.8ghz or 2.66ghz...I should have seen some sort of result...

I dont game much so I didn't care....just wanted to give a number to the masses.

Theres most likely a cap on the fps. I'm not sure what the command is but try com_maxfps 0. Google it if that isn't it because the commands tend to vary game to game even if its the same engine.

cant exactly use FRAPS with alot of framecaped games.

youll need to unlock the framecap...
change seta com_maxfps "85" to seta com_maxfps "0"

Cheers, that seems to have done the trick.
