it was put to my attention recently that if you have a better graphics card, you can play much better and thus get a better rank. I can barly run this game with my 400 mhz pentium celeron and nvida riva 128, and i have only won about ten duels.so my question is what kind of graphics cards do you guys have (because i want to see if my theory is correct)

Athlon 1800 (?) dont ask me.. that quantispeed thingy, confusing it is
512Megs RAM
ATI Radeon 7200 (yap, no geforce4/radeon9700 is needed)
JK2 runs silky-smooth @ 1024/16bpp
couple of LVD drives (which may improve loading times hee hee)

I have a
Athlon XP1800+
512 DDR RAM
Geforce 4 4400TI

It runs nice and fast and im happy with it.
Make shure when running anything through your AGP bus that is it se to 4x in the BIOS.
And i tell you this motherboard's can make the diffrence in this, also make shure you can run a geforce4 card, there is no point in haveing one if your AGP bus only supports 2X

its great!
my fps went from 10 to 30, and i get 40/50 alot, and sometimes 90!

the game rarely laggs now (i dont know if i can get into my secret hiding spot though :/), and the start up screen moves much faster.

One problem: im much worse now, cuz the game moves so much rfaster, its hard to time everything now :/, so i have to practice like crazy

anything from 60fps and up is just fine. Everything below will make it "lag" a little. The lower fps, the more fps-lag.
Your eye can see 33.333333 fps, so why have more? Because of some weird reason, you can feel it. So even though your fps is constantly 33.33333 fps, you will still experience a bit of lag.

For my self, I'm running:
700@900mhz Duron
384 sdram pc 133 (rate: 2,3,2,3)
GeForce 2 gts 32mb
win2k + refreshrate fix
and I have about 15-30 fps on the academy map (less fps on other maps), with mIRC, openoffice tray, and winamp running in the background, and every graphic detail at minimum in 640x480 16bit.
This is how my autoexec.cfg looks like:
cg_drawFPS 1
cg_drawTimer 1
r_colorbits 16
r_detailtextures 0
r_dynamiclight 0
r_picmip 3
vid_restart
cg_brassTime 0
cg_drawRewards 1
cg_marks 0
cg_shadows 0

It's an old Q3 cfg, that dosen't tweak alot, but dosen't drop the fps when more people are entering the room (5 persons in a room dosen't make much more lag).

-edit-
forgot to mention, that OFCOURSE FPS DOES COUNT!

allright. Now to convince my dad to lend me some more money, what other benefits does it make? IE, does it help the computer go faster? etc.?

Runs at around 30-40 FPS on the VERY LOW detail setting, so on most of the default maps it's smooth. But then again... I don't really know what smooth is until I see JK2 on my friend's computer. :mad:
