Quake 4 1.05 dual core GeForce performance fix

[ruiner5000]

You can grab the registry fix info here if you are using Quake 4 version 1.05 for dual core performance enhancements with a GeForce powered graphics card with the 80 series drivers version 81.84 and beyond. It has been confirmed with Nvidia that there is a conflict that lowers performance. This registry fix disables the dual core support in these drivers.

what, no one cares about an issue with dual core and geforce in this place? i'm pretty surprised.

unfortuantely, i dont have a dual core...unless hyper-threading is supported.

plus, my video card sucks (geforce3) and its costly to upgrade to a 6800GT or higher cause of AGP.

 

[ruiner5000]

yes, hyperthreading is effected as well.

I am going to guess by the name that you like to start flame wars.

Here is a handy little bit of advise.

Go Away.

I'll contact a mod and let them know how you treat readers of anandtech since 1996. better yet I'll probably see Anand, or one of his staffers at CES so we can laugh about it there.

oh, HT is affected...hmm, may have to borrow my friends copy and try it out. i wasnt getting too bad frame rates on all low quality 640x480, but all the advanced settings were on though (sans AA and vertical sync).

but my friend who has the game also has a X2 3800+ with 2GB of ram and a 7800GT, so it's prolly wiser to try it out on his first, heh heh.
