30-40 fps is a good rate , the choppiness is only experienced below 30fps to a human eye. so u dont need increased fps for viewing pleasure.

Reduce the Reoslution to a Minimum of 640x480 and Possibly most of the Detailed texturing,Geometric Detail to low and Lastly Texture Filtering to BiLinear.This must give a few extra FPS to it.35Fps must give you a fair enough gameplay.State your PC specs and also the game settings you play quake 3 with.

<15 fps -----OMG get a new card
15-25 fps ------jerky gameplay
25-35 fps ------ little smooth gameplay .. i mean little playable
35-45 fps ----- smooth gameplay ... good playability
>45 fps ----- anything above is just on a sweet spot ... happy gaming ....

Quake3 is supposed to be very little taxing on the system ... i get around 350+ fps always ... with an onboard 845 graphics adapter i used to get around 50-60 fps atleast ....post ur config plz ......
