It depends on what you are playing, when you extract the files from the pk4 files, the game will pull the files from the normal folders when playing single player. It'll only pull stuff from the pk4 files when you connect to play multiplayer on a pure server.

Yes, you need to delete or rename OR move the files to another folder. If they are still there, the game will just load them and doesnt care about the extracted files.

ok, first I changed my 3D settings from balanced to high performance, which actually reduced my framrate lol. Then I tried the chace trick, still got the exact same framrate. So I guess I'm "stuck" at 34,7 fps (timedemo1). Unless anyone has onther idea 
AMD64 3k, 1GB RAM, 9800pro 128MB running 1024*768, high, 2xAA
 ... but even worse, it releases satan.

well... I have already done that since i use VSync. But even if I turn Vsync off it doesn't make any difference (frameratewise) if I have tribuffer enabled.

I can run with 4xAA and ultra settings and get 50+ (but it drops down sometimes below 30).
See my specs below, and I play 2xAA 1024x768 High Settings and get no less than 55 FPS. Ive seen it hit 40 with 4 or 5 monsters on screen in a highly detailed area. |

Boost performance on ATi graphics cards by up to 40%.
Just read this thread on beyond3d
Haven't tried it myself but both perhaps you can boost it a bit.

Thanks for the link. Interestingly enough, this will be implemented in mods in the future. Guarantee it

I must ask you again, you are talking about your framrate when using com_showfps1 or something like that, not what your score is using timedemo. Please run timedemo two times and then tell me what kind of score you get.

*shakes head*
Watch some other timedemos please, and if you don't have any, make some; don't just run Timedemo1. It sticks at 60FPS nearly the whole time. |

heh, well it just doesn't make much sense comparing different demos.
If I make my own or try something else, sure I get a better score.
Ingame I seem to be between 50-60 all the time but thats a different issuse, we need to compare the same demo if the scores are ment to be of some kind of use, but what the hell, I'll just live with it.

 Lets say, my demo has *more* monsters and textures on screen at the same time. Would that not imply my machine is working harder? There is something not right with the settings you have for your card or in the game. |

Well my computer may be broken then 
I use Balanced OpenGL settings, Triple Buffering Enabeld, Force Z-buffer disabled.
In cfg file:
seta image_useCache "1"
seta image_cacheMegs "256"
seta image_cacheMinK "2048"
And ingame 1024x768,High settings, everything (including shadows) enabeld. Vsync and 2xAA. And my timedemo1-result is 34,7
Not much else to do change is it...
... but even worse, it releases satan.
