Quake III max 60 frames?

[idNut]

WTF? I know com_maxfps X sets your max frame rate and I have that set at 0 so it'll go as high as my R9700 offers but now it doesn't surpass 60 ever since I did something. I've been playing around with my refresh rate, could that be a reason?

is your monitor refresh rate at 60hz (use monitor buttons while ingame, not what windows is set to), and vsynch on?

i think also you should have this in your config
seta r_displayrefresh "0"


you can simply try removing your config and running Q3, which will create a new one, if fps still 60 then its nothing config-wise and put yours back in.

Yeah I have vertical sync on, does that limit the frames?

 

[BlueWeasel]

Yep, vertical sync will set your framerate to match the refresh rate of your monitor. Disable Vsync to max the framerate independently of the monitor.

Wow, that makes sense.
