Those frame rates are interesting... I have an Athlon 64 3200+ with a 
GeForce FX 5600 and I get a flat 20-25fps, maybe 30fps no matter what
map I play. In fact I think playing a 1 on 1 DM doesn't get much faster
than a 10 bot Onslaught. I've got all my graphics settings on full as I could
see no percievable difference when switching them all to low (maybe 2 or 3
frames a second). Not sure about my VAR size though... what other settings
have you changed that gave you a big performance jump?
