I hope it's not the problem with my Graphic Card but everygame I try on Mac OS X Unreal Tournament 2004, DOOM 3, I'm getting CAP FPS @ 60FPS. What is going on here? How do I increased it, I have try every setting in the game. Is the game build this way. I saw people getting pass the 60FPS with their ATI X1900 XT?
Got a tip for us?

Vertical Sync
Do you have vertical sync turned on? This usually caps frame rates. Turn it off and see what happens.
60 fps is not anything to be shy about. The best test is to go to an online server that is full of players.
See what your frame rates are and report back!! My Mac Pro should be in my hands this week. I'd be interested to know.

Vertical Sync and Anti Alias is turn off. Running resolution at 1280x1024. I get 60FPS both for Doom 3 and Quake 4 with everything in High Setting. Sometime it drop down to 35FPS though. Play is very smooth and almost no lag. Sometime I get a little pause. But with Doom 4 Ultra Mode, it's slow
.I just find out too this game they cap FPS at 60. There is a work around it if you look around it. Just don't feel like messing and modified around with it.
I'm not sure about UT2k4, but any game based on the doom3 engine is capped at 60fps in the software on pc and mac. This means that doom3 and quake4 are all capped. There's a way to remove it using the console in-game, but I don't remember what it was. You'll have to wait until someone posts something or google it yourself
Try this
just did a quick google - here is a page you can check out
http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/ConnectionFAQ/Quake3.htm . These are quake 3 commands. I am unsure if they will work in q4
seems that typing " \com_maxfps xx " where xx is the number you want to cap to. type 0 (zero) if you want to uncap it. ie \com_maxfps 0 .
if you read thru the page link it mentions something about if your fps is too high it may saturate your connection.

I try that command and it return me with Unknown command error. I think it's because I have a Demo version or it may be use for online only. Testing real FPS required a lot of effort from this Games because of the cap FPS. It's too much of a work. Maybe, I just go to Windows and try 3Dmarks instead.
