[et:qw]: Info's about hardware spec's?

(ParanoiD) #21

First my PC will need lowest settings at everything, but I always try to run games playable at highest settings possible for my system. For singleplayer I need liek 30 fps to call it playable, for MP it needs a little higher…

There are so many things that can change ur system quality. Not only hardware, but also software like have u much files fragmented, spyware, virusses, unstable system, crappy drivers, enough swap file space… My system has bad specs, but i try to get most out of it by keeping my system clean and. For the latest games i eally shut down everything, no firewall, antivires etc…

My system to run ET:QW till about august 2006:
AMD Athlon XP 1800+ (oc at max 1633 MHz - 2000-)
1024 MB DDR266(284 fsb oc) Ram
ATI Radeon 9600pro EZ 256MB

While both my GFX and proc are lower then minimum of Quake4, I still get a stable 30+ fps on 800x600 low.

Just curious, how do you manage to squeeze decent multiplayer fps with this thing ? (Wolf:ET).
Which options do you change ?

Right now I’m limited to a 512k/64k connection. Can anyone hypothesize or tell me (SD? :P) what kind of connection is needed? I cannot run Quake4 multi atm but the articles said a rewritten netcode is going into the new game.

I better just upgrade heh. 80 a month for a 1m/320k connection with no strings attached. 59 a month with strings attached. :frowning:

At quake4 Just 800x600 low, all details out on menu settings, no special tweaked cfg. Doom3 was 30-40 fps stable with 800x600 low but with special effects like shades on i think (not sure anymore). I get 76 stable FPS in W:ET at 1024x768 Highest settings, if i go lower my CPU is the bottleneck so wont give me higher FPS. So I hope that a tweaked cfg could manage it to run ET:QW at lowest settings good enough to me. The system will be replaced by a whole new notebook somewhere in august, so I wont be upgrading this rig anymore. I also have read Q3 as release date.

BTW Black forky, get over here in NL! €30 and u have 20 mbit/1 mbit :slight_smile:
