I will be adding to this post when I can....

Always check what the original value is, by using the variable (no set in front) without a figure and note it down!!!


Quake Live settings to increase FPS performance:-

set cg_drawfps "1" - Shows fps (frames per second) rate. You need this to start with...

set r_subdivisions 80 - Makes curves into straight lines, gives a performance boost.

set r_fastsky 1 - Replaces the skyboxes with black textures.

set r_enablePostProcess 0 - Removes the snazzy light effects from the game, big performance boost

set r_vertexlight 1 - Degrades lighting quality for better performance, currently has conflicting settings on some maps so not recommended.

set r_dynamiclight 0 - Removes the light given off by projectiles, gives a very small performance increase, only use if they actually distract you

set r_ColorBits "16" - Reduce colours used to 16, normal 32, reduces graphics quality for FPS boost.

set r_TextureBits "16" - Reduce texture colours used to 16, normal 32, reduces graphics quality for FPS boost.

set r_swapinterval "0" - disable vsync
