Why would you bother with lightboost over 144hz?

As far as I remember enabling lightboost adds more lag.

Because it almost completely removes blur.

Well, I doubt 144Hz has much blur in the first place.

Not much, but it does have some. I use it myself and trust me it is amazing. I am sure that once you do too you will feel the same.

If you're using a 1080p monitor, set the game to 1080p.

why's that? it's been working for the last two years. just recently something must have changed.

changed it to 1920x1080 which fills the screen, fps are locked at 120 but not it's not smooth at all and feels laggy.

Sounds like the monitor is set to 1:1 rather than scale to Aspect

he means the actual monitor itself. go through your monitor's settings gui and see if it's set to 1:1.

why are you using 720p on a 1080p monitor? there's no reason to do that at all. it's not even a different aspect ratio.

tick 'enable gpu upscaling.' that should fix your problem with non-native res not filling the screen, but try unticking 'alternate dvi operational mode' before you try going back to 720p again. also, disable any scaling settings your monitor has.

i've tried a combination of all those options now. still not working. thing is, even quake 2 and ut99 work fine without any of those changes. i think it must be an issue wit q3 itself.

Test ioquake3, quake3e and cnq3 and see if using one or the other fixes the issues.

Make sure you don't have special settings for this executable which override the global ones.

Lightboost requires specific timings to activate. Those timings are based on 1920x1080. If you want to use a different resolution, the GPU has to scale it. Check the Information menu on your monitors OSD when you are in the games that work correctly and see what resolution and refresh rate the monitor is reporting.

getting an up to date ioquake should help, also i think you might be using 60hz ingame. i only have this bug when i use lowhz/lowres combo, puts the screen in the middle.

yes i just tried cnq3 and ioq3, looks like ioq3 works fine. however it won't let me connect to any of the #cpmpickup servers... okidoki works fine though :<
