FPS Fix
Game runs nice at 90FPS but i have some drops to 75-80FPS at random times. Any fixes ?
Specs: Core i7-4790K, GTX Titan Black 6GB, Crucial 16GB DDR3, SSD 2TB Corsair.
OS: Win7 x64
P.S: Ill cap fps on 90 cuz more than 90fps will pain my eyes.

I doubt this is relevent anymore but i was having the same issues recently. I solved mine with r_finish 0. The command when enable forces the gpu to fully complete each frame. When dissabled it doubled my fps easily. Be warned that on certain cards it will cause weird input lag however i havent seen this.

I don't think the makers of this game ever imagined it running on that kind of hardware... Also if this isn't a joke, I don't know the answer to your question.. nice name though :^)

I find solution. Installing Team arena fix freezes. I think you right cuz dat hardware too new 4 Q3. Ingame detector says me dat i have 2GB of RAM (lol). So i search forums and people say that problem appears on Nvidia cards only.

You know you're a true masterrace if you complain about FPS being too clunky even though it runs above 60FPS

Actually, to get the best movement physics out of Quake 3 and Team Arena you need it to run at 125 FPS. As for hardware... sheesh. Q3 can hit 1000 FPS on my system easy with vsync disabled, but above that it blows away mouse input. That's with a Core i-7 3770K and a GTX 670. If you're dropping to 70-80 FPS you must be doing something strange with your config.

@Mac&cheese: 60FPS is not enough. I can barely tolerate it for dark games like Doom 3. Otherwise it looks like a slideshow to me. I run my desktop at 100Hz or I can see the flicker, and I still use a CRT because LCD screens look like ♥♥♥♥ to me, even the 120Hz ones. Pixel response is just too slow for my eyes. I'm in the 1% of the master race - I want OLED or emissive QDOT monitors (not that QLED backlit LCD phony crap) and I want them NOW.
