Howto Calculate Mem Setting's Quake (TUTORIAL)
Ok so you have a x bunch of RAM in your pc , but how do i optimize this for Quake ?
Ok here we go
variabele x = Limit of your MB RAM
variabele a = com_hunkmegs
variabele c = com_zonemegs && com_soundmegs && free RAM for windows etc
This is how it goes:
x / 4 * 3 = a
x - a = b
b/3 = c
So for 256MB RAM this should be:
seta com_hunkMegs "192" //256/4 = 64, 64*3 = 192
seta com_soundMegs "21" //256 - 192 = 64, 64 / 3 = 21,33...
seta com_zoneMegs "21" //Same Value as com_zonemegs
//SOM: 192+21,33+21,33+21,33= 255,99.
Maybe interesting for people with low ram, but not very interesting for your second example. Quake never needs so much ram.
Doesn't Q3 have an internal cap on how much ram it uses, anyway (thought i've read it somewhere)?
Still, interesting, thanks for the tutorial.
From my experience there is no need for more then 128 no matter how much u got.And zonemegs are cheat protected IIRC:
Yep! maybe .. but try to change your skin... try to look at (explore) all the skins you have, and you'd se that after ~10 skins clicked or maybe more (if didn't play yet) .. you should get a SEXY MESSAGE
Yes indeed i just thought that out , it's indeed capped @ a Sertain point
512 MB if iam correct
