I have a P3 700/256MB with a TNT2 (our video processing computer). Using default settings and Grimm's reg tweak, I'm getting a weird-ass problem w/ frame rates in Q3. To wit:
When stationary and staring at an area with no other movement (players, etc.), the frame counter will show from 6 to 28 FPS, CYCLING from 25-28 down to 6-7 incrementally and then quickly dropping back to 25-28 in the course of maybe a second or two. This is at 800x600 with 1024x768 even more drastic. It's almost like the RAM on the card is filling up then dumping. The Cel 400's w/ old TNTs aren't having this problem, showing frame rates of 20-25 practically regardless of the action rendered.

Bad tweaks on this unit or just a bad card ?

Seems to be an NVidia problem, I've felt it myself with a GeForce2 GTS.
