I got a GeForce4 Ti 4200 128Mb and a AMD Duron 1.3Ghz with 512Mb DDR RAM 333 and with all of my Geforce cards i have had in the past i have a problem with Quake III When i play i get fairly good FPS like around 120 or so but i get a Choppy line in the middle and around edges od objects i turn the vsync command on R_Swapinterval 1 it makes the choppy go away but makes my FPS stick around 60 maybe 70 and i can get like 3 people on the screen at once and FPS drops to like 40 maybe 20 and it laggs up thats why i hate vsync on Quake so is their a way to get rid of these choppy graphics without vysinc i have been asking around and noone can help! so if anyone out their would like to take a shot please help!!!!! PLEASE


P.S I have the newest driver and i have defraged and even formated......

Are you overclocking at all? Ti 4200's OC well, but I believe that is what's causing my card to display weird stuff that look like a cloud of buzzing flies in a couple games.

My first thought was your proc-a Duron is very old and Quake III is very CPU-dependent. But I had a 466 Celeron and a PCI GeForce2 MX 400 running Counter-Strike with a solid 60fps, but that is a different game.

Anyone hear run Q3 with a proc like this?

Do you have the latest AGP and chipset drivers for your mobo?

I ran Quake 3 on a Duron 750 with a TNT2 M64 and also a Geforce 2 Ti and they both ran fine.

stuff like Hal Life and Counter strike are yes work well but UT has been sucky ass latly also acting up i dunno if its cause the direct 3d or what it runs well in OpenGL but UT has bad OpenGL compatibility issues

Try another OpenGL based game or demo, see what your other options are in the OpenGL tab.

Has it allways done this or only since a driver update for your GF card?
