i recently bought a BFG 6800 ultra.

when i play UT2004 i play in 1280x1024. if i play at 0xaa and 0xaf i average 85 fps all the time. It almost never changes.

when i play UT2004 in x1280x1024 with 4xaa and 16x af i average 85 fps all the time. and it also almost never changes.

I would think in this scenerio that if i was pulling 85 fps with 4xaa and 16 af then i should pull way above 100+ with no aa and no af. any idea's as to why the fps never changes?

if i did this on my 9700 pro i would see it change with every increase/decrease of aa/af or resolution.

my refreshrate at that res is locked at 100hz.
 
you are cpu limited, ut 2004 brings even the best cpu's to thier knees.
 
kinda like com_maxfps 85....(quake style)

should be a line like that in your config or ut.ini file...

prob capping you at 85 fps..I am not a UT wiz though....played UT2 last i think..hehe..
 
sorry for the late response but thats for all the posts. I have a 3500+ cpu so i would think that i would still get higher then that, but maybe you are right maybe thats the max. It would make sense since even if i turn all the eye candy up thats still only stressin the video card so that does seem to explain it. thanks for all your answers.

I did check my UT2004.ini but didnt find anything that resembles that 8( i have seen it go higher before but its very rare.
 
odd, i average 40 fps on with the most bots and 60-100+ with limited ...
 
I have exactly the same card as you, and with a 3400+ processor.

If you tell me how to turn on the FPS counter in UT2K4, I'll let you know what FPS I get at these settings.
 
Ok, here we go:

1024x768 - anything from 150-320 FPS when I'm scooting randomly about the arena before a match
1280x1024 - 150-260FPS or so
1280x1024 - 4xFSAA 16xAF - 60-110FPS (I must be an ignoramus - it looks just as pretty without the extra quality settings and much, much smoother)

You're capped in the software somehow. If it was Enemy Territory, I could tell you where to look, but I'm an U2K4 novice, I'm afraid. Perhaps someone on www.planetunreal.com could answer your question.

I wonder if your monitor is perhaps set at 85hz and there is some sort of synch setting in place....

EDIT - hang on - I just noticed you said you're set at 100hz, so I'm wrong there.
