Multiplayer is where many quakers get really serious about the hunt for a high FPS, where one FPS really can be the difference between fragging or being fragged. Hopefully Quake 4 will not be locked to 60fps, I really liked the smooth movement in Quake 3 after a few computer upgrades, when reaching a steady 100+ fps. -- FreakyGaming
Historical Pre-official system requirements
Here are some older statements from id software regarding the expected system requirements in Quake 4, we have them saved here for historical purposes.
Tim Willits:
If you had a machine that could run Doom 3 decently, it will run Quake 4 decently. If you can run games like Half-Life 2 or EverQuest 2,
you should be fine. However, make sure that if you get a computer as a
new upgrade, particularly one that's advertised as a gaming machine,
that it has a few important features to help your experience. Most
computers now would probably want at least 512 megs of RAM, and don't
get a video card that has less than 128 megs of RAM - 256 megs is the
way to go.
