I recently upgraded from a Pentium4 1500Mhz (256Mb ram) to a Pentium4 2000Mhz (512Mb ram). My graphics card is a GeForce3.
From time to time I run Q3Bench to check the frames per second. On the 1500 PC I got 138 fps.
I was a little bit surprised to see that I get the same fps (i.e. 138) on the new PC.
After a while I had a problem with my internet satellite connection and as a result installed one of my older registries (system.dat, user.dat, system.ini & win.ini). What do you know? Suddenly the fps on the Q3Bench ran 173!
Another problem with a game caused me to format my C:\drive and after re-installation (WinMe) the card was running again at 138 fps! Unfortunately I could not find those same registry files (which gave me the 173 fps).
What my question is:
"Somewhere in the registry must be an entry that causes this difference in frames per second (i.e. 35). If I could find this entry and know how to modify it, I would be all smiles)."
