Quake frame rate parameter?

what is the Quake command for enable the FPS counter?
Thanks

Don't know how to get a constant FPS readout, but typing 'timerefresh' in the console will give you a general perspective.

afaik quake 1 didn't have a constant fps readout option [not without a mod anyway] so you either use timerefresh as was said already or "timedemo demo1" [there are three demo's by default, demo1, demo2, demo3 believe it or not lol


w00t 600fps!  :lol:

There is no FPS counter to enable, per se.

You can, however, run demo map with *average* framerate counting enabled (total number of frames rendered / time in seconds).

To do so use TIMEDEMO command. It must be given the map name as argument. There are 3 demo maps to time. Traditionally demo2 is considered the standard for comparing framerates.

Type this in console to calculate the average framerate of demo2:

Code: [Select]


timedemo demo2


Timerefresh is useless for benchmarks as the result greatly varies depending on the position of the player and the direction the player looks at.
