Ever since I've had my Hercules Geforce3 my opinions of it have been forever increasing. Yesterday, I thought I'd try something insane just for laughs. I thought I would try upping the resolution of Quake3 to 2048x1536 since my monitor can do it.
Because of memory bottlenecking I was sure that my pc would freeze when I did this. It didn't. The cursor glided across the screen nicely. I loaded up a skirmish with a couple of bots and wham! It worked!
Quake3, high quality settings at 2048x1536 32bit ran around a playable 40-50fps!
I have included a guenuine 2048x1536 Q3 screenshot which unfortunately had to be seriously compressed for all the 56k users.
