problem with quake 3 and 1060 evga FTW

[Tomino]

Hi . 

 

My quake 3 is running very smooth on 250 fps but every 30 sec or so i have freez for 1 sec or drop fps . I notice i have dynamic GPU clock speed(830 - 1700mhz). When i lock clock  speed in evga software on 2020 mhz game runs fine .

Or i can set max fps 125 and quake start running good cause it lower gpu clock to 500 mhz , but 125 fps looks bad . 

 

 

I had this also on cs1.6 so i set in nvidia control panel - adaptive power option , now cs is locked on 139 mhz gpu clock speed and running smooth . This option doesnt work on quake .

 

Is there any other way how can i lock boost not on 2020 mhz cause gpu gettin hot but some lower clock like 300 mhz ? thanx . 

 

evga 1060 6gb FTW

i5 4690k OC 4200 

8gb ram . 

650 Watt seasonic focus .

 

Sory for my englando

Thanx

How does it look bad? Unless you have a 144hz monitor or higher you shouldn't see any difference at all.

 

As for freezing - are you playing online?

[Tomino]

online offline or with bot . 

 

i dont want to start fps human eye debate . but it looks chopy AF . i have 144 hz lcd . 250 is just better like 3x  than 125 even its only 2x more .

If you have a 144Hz monitor aim to run at 144, not 250 or 120...

stop it , just staap

 

i just tried 145 fps to 144 hz its chopy jittery etc . u need like 1.5 fps to 1 LCD hz .

Set the power mode to "Prefer maximum performance" in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Try installing the game on an SSD, if it isn't already.

it is . game is like running from RAM anyway

i set high power performance in control panel of windows . 

 

lol it works . clock is locked on 1620 mhz but also cpu on 4200 mhz .  HW getting hot i can hear fans now but game not laging . 

 

rather have cpu and vga low speed and zero noise but atleast i can play game now . 

[Tomino]

new problem . now my CPU clock is always on 4200 mhz in desktop . 2D never goes to 800 mhz . Its not ECO

So did you check the usage of the system while doing any of this?

Having a high frame rate and having a slow cpu can make it seem bad.

 

Also don't see what the cpu not downclocking has to do with it, its gonna stay high for a reason. Putting the pc on performance mode and using certain programs with yield that.

[Tomino]

quake 3 is using like 30 % vga and 8% cpu . also it works on ECO mode . all time 800 mhz all 4 cores . and it drops only 5fps . So  i can play now high performance or low eco mod . why not normal where is cpu and vga dynamic mhz. 

 

Quake 3 can run smooth on 2005 year PC
