[-VA-MortalMan]

I thought that it might benefit the newer members of the community (I myself am one), to have a compile list of settings you could change to get better FPS, and better gaming experience.
Currently, I average from 20 - 30 FPS, i'm sure there are others out there who either have experienced this before and changed something to improve it, or others who are experiencing this.

I hope the older members of the community can pitch in, and teach us a thing or two about increasing FPS, either on how you can change your Mac settings, or UrT settings.

Thanks for reading this, I await your reply eagerly.

Tested on my Radeon Xpress 200M with timedemo 1



without A.I. = 39,3fps

with A.I.
ioUrbanTerror.exe = 41,9fps
renamed to quake3.exe = 46,3fps
renamed to quake4.exe = game crash on intro <img src='http://forums.urbanterror.net/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/grin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-D' />

Settings for ATI CCC

Anti-Aliasing = use application settings
Anisotropic Filter = use application settings
Catalyst A.I. = Advanced
Mipmap Detail Level = High Performance

some settings for performance you should use a low resolution eventually 800x600
look that your mouse runs with 500 or 1000hz pollingrate for better latency. (some mices do this at default but when not you can easy patch this in most Operating Systems)
