How to reduce input latency and make the game smooth.
Grim_Fandango:
You might be able to squeeze out a few more FPS's by changing the monitor cable.
I found out today that my max res' via HDMI was 3440 x 1440 @ 85Hz, but using Display Port it jumps to 100Hz.
It's also worthwhile checking the refresh rate is set to the highest in Windows.
Stealer:
Aye you are right hdmi won't support over 60hz I believe, it's got to be displayport for over that. I've found some variation in display port cables as well. First one I bought only supported 85hz, bought another and now play at 144hz fine. I've got an msi display app to set my refresh rate.
Although I only just wondered if the refresh rate is set in the user.ini of ut2004 - anyone know?
Veica:
It depends on the version - HDMI 2.1should have no issue running 4K up to 120hz with HDR, but 2.0 and earlier do not have the bandwidth to support more that 4K at 60hz or smaller resolutions at higher refresh rates
Source: I struggled with an HDMI 2.0 Nvidia GPU for years until I upgraded recently to a card with HDMI 2.1
Grim_Fandango:
I'm in a continued battle trying to squeeze each and every little frame from my machine.
I've followed umpteen guides, tried 64 bit, OpenGL, swapping cables, monitors, widescreen fix, setting in-game graphics to low and unchecking all the usual suspects, but my fps never seemed to settle until I dropped the screen res and swapped the HDMI for a DP cable.
My current config gives me avg 115 fps running ut2004(D3D 1024x1080), and 175 fps in 64bit (OpenGL 1920x1080) all on low graphic settings. I could go lowest, but that sacrifices too much of the visual splendour :)
I was using high graphics on my 35" ultra-wide screen, but was only getting around 85fps at 3440x1440.
I'm not a religious man, but I'm certain I prayed once...definitely swore lots of times!
I'm getting in the 200's on my gaming laptop on highest settings and it plays buttery smooth.
Still can't hit shit though :(

You can tweak settings in UT2004.ini, or ut2004-win64.ini for 64 bit.
These are mine for now:
[WinDrv.WindowsClient]
MinDesiredFrameRate=201.000000
[SDLDrv.SDLClient]
MinDesiredFrameRate=35.000000
[Engine.LevelInfo]
MaxClientFrameRate=201.000000

I prefer running the 64 bit version in OGL, but I cannot get text to speech to work.
