What is the Best HD Texture Pack out there?

[Berghain]

Hello! I'm playing Quake again after a long time. Of course it looks all very outdated, so I've heard of a few mods/high quality texture packs. I'd like to know wich one is best, and where I could download it/them in that case. I'm running a x64 system, if that's any difference for anything.. :)

IMO "Quake HD" is the superior pack of new textures and whatnot. I'm not sure what the above link is about; the Quake HD that I'm familiar with is at http://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-hd-pack-guide

But if you're playing recent third-party maps, the best ones are made to look correct when using something like the original Quake renderer. Most of the time I prefer just playing with the QuakeSpasm engine and no addons.

Quake HD Remastered looks better but it runs erraticly on my rig. speeds up and slows down with screen glitching. Anyone know how to fix this???

Specs:

Windows 7 (64)
3.6Ghz Quad Core i5 Processor
16Gb RAM
2x 1Gb Geforce GTX550ti's (SLI)
Latest Nvidia Display Drivers

ATM Quake HD Remastered is completely unplayable on my rig. :'(

Why this one not work when Epsilon work fine???

To clear up some confusion:

The "ultimate quake patch" only contains DarkPlaces and the soundtrack music. No new textures.

"Quake HD" and "Quake Epsilon" include DarkPlaces, music, and new textures/sounds/etc. Also the version of DarkPlaces included in those packs is more up-to-date.

I took a look at "Quake HD Remastered" just now, to see what's up with that. It appears that someone copied an older version of "Quake HD" and changed it as follows:
- repacked (into one gigantic pk3 rather than multiple pk3s)
- credits/readmes stripped out
- documentation about how to configure things removed
- high frequencies chopped off of at least some of the music tracks
- some changes to the settings defaults (e.g. enabling a lot of things that are off-by-default in "Quake HD")

That rubs me the wrong way. Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I'd say that if you really want to try using new media in your Quake, you should stick to "Quake HD" and avoid "Quake HD Remastered".

Both HD and Remastered have BIG issues on my rig while Epsilon build runs flawlessly at over 100fps.

I'm getting texture issues with Epsilon, the axe is in low resolution and the enemies are in low resolution and I'm pretty sure some of the walls are in low res. I have a more than adequate system to play in ultra and a video card with 4GBDDR5 on a 8350.

I got it to work with Steam and launch the overlay as well, the only problem is the textures, but everything Epsilon offers is there minus some less than impressive textures that I know I've seen in videos look much better. Something is wrong.

I am now compiling resources from BOTH Epsilon Quake and Quake HD together into Quake HD Remix I am still fine-tuning it and when complete I will try to scratch up the cash for a file-sharing account to put a download link on my screenshots.

Here are a three teasers:
