Must go faster

yes i have reliefmapping on myself, totally love it.
it makes the world of quake look so much more amazing IMO

erm.... my fps is something like somewhere between 40-80 on average i think.
it all depends on moments with which effects are visible on screen, like big particle-effects close to view and pretty_water, especially when theres big water surfaces it can drop, or when sky is being reflected it sometimes drops a lot. but rarely ever it goes lower then 20.

so i still get a pretty decent framerate imo even with all these effects

So I do, it looks very accurately, this is seen especially well in Hipnotic start map near those computers. And that parallax occlusion looks pretty cool and realistic.
But this option drops my average FPS down to 8-15, which is not enough for playing

Cool. I've only got 20-30 fps with RTWorld turned on and reliefmapping off.
I'm now trying to make new relight for original maps+mission packs, which will include both RTLights (but their number is much decreased) and special lightmaps to work with together RTL. Lexa2 is helping me with that.
That will increase average FPS up to 1.5-2 times compared with existing relights and it seems to look even better.

i myself got lighting on at full settings, effects at high
got webangels pretty_water
inkub0's rt-lights
lit and dlit files
all hi-poly models there are for ammo, weapons and monsters, animated ammo-boxes
sevens SMC with death-effects on, using version A which has jakub's effects
webangels animated and reflecting textures,
rain & fog for all maps,
and have both offsetmapping and reliefmapping on

and i myself get like 40-80fps on average


but then again, i got a beast of a computer


EDIT: btw with the gtx480 i had before turning reliefmapping on made quake pretty much unplayable too

Just like I'm doing you've only got reliefmapping in addition.

I've got powerful enough comp at workplace with core i5, 12gb RAM and Nvidia Quadro, it is great for CAD programs, but sucks ingame, I can't even play with rtlights on cause Quadro video-card only delivers 1-2FPS with it
DP is extremely sensitive to video-card as we can see.

But it is really possible to make it faster by decreasing number of RTLights. Actually modern games doesn't have all lights realtime AFAIK they combine a very few number of realtime lights with ambient lightmaps.
