There are a few easy ways to tell whether or not your map is pushing the Cube engine beyond it's limits. Use the /showstats command in game to take a look at your FPS and other values that indicate how graphics-heavy your map is. Most of these suggestions are already found in the docs, but I'll repeat them here:
1. WQD over 5000 is bad. You need more solids.
2. Many mapmodels is bad. AC was not built to support tons of models.
I've seen maps that looked beautiful and didn't fulfill these requirements, but they were pretty much unplayable. A good AC map can be run on older machines, too.
all right, well here are my PC specs......
Gateway PC
AMD Anthlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+
Nvidia GeForce 6150 Graphics Card
And im running Linux as my operating system and playing Assault Cube under wine.
