Scan lines are a bit off though and it only recomends 640x480. Suppose I could run it with 2xAA.

If I remember right, just rename opengl32.dll to openglv5.dll and copy it to in game directory and replace the original with this. Here is my screenshots with V56K and 8x FSAA in 1024*768 Regards Kokohemmo

I'm not sure, because when I added this in autoexec.cfg

seta cg_drawfps "1"

It just show max 90 fps in right corner.. Sometimes it goes littlebit under but never seen it over 90. I think it goes higher, but maybe this string won't show more than 90 ???

Added: Sorry, I remember wrong. This 90 thing was without FSAA... I don't remember what it was with full FSAA, I should make test some day again..

Yes, that could be like that.
I'll try that thing in my game.

Added: Test done and in 1024 it shows now over 100fps allmost all the time and max seems to be in 130-150fps. 1280*1168 mode, which my LCD is right now it shows 115-129fps. All this with no FSAA
