Problem with GLQuake.

[FalseChristian]

When I had my old E8400 oc'ed to 3.825GHz I used to get 5,000 fps in GLQuake. But now that I've got an i5 2500K oc'ed to 4.5GHz I'm still only getting 5,000 fps. Should I upgrade to 2 GTX 660's when Kepler comes out or am I stuck at 5,000?

You're definitely GPU-limited ;-p

Kepler could be the answer!

It's very simple, you see you don't have one of these..

Any reason you're not using Fitzquake?

Games that use 3D hardware are severely limited by the video card bus, both the hardware latencies involved (PCI-e is slow), and the associated software API overhead. There comes a point where that back-and-forth can not get faster [until the CPU and GPU are the same unit], leaving you with an FPS cap. Play other old games, and you'll find the same thing, just usually with a smaller number.

There are much better Quake clients: Fitz, ProQuake, Qrack, DarkPlaces, nQuake....take your pick.

Right now I'm using the Tomaz mod for Quake.

What resolution and AA are you using?
