Quake 4 autoexec.cfg config

Traditionally, deathmatch shooters have a strange characteristic: They set new standards in the graphics department regularly, yet you have to disable most of the details if you want to play on a more advanced level. Basically, there is no chance to play Quake4 competitively without a good config file.
You can use the below autoexec.cfg file as a start. Q4 does not overwrite the settings automatically if you use this file.

Instructions:
Alter "com_videoram" to half of your graphic card memory in megabytes and "image_cachemegs" to a quarter to a third of your computer RAM in megs.
To use this config create a new text file called "autoexec.cfg" in your \Quake4\q4base\ folder if its not already there. Copy this and paste it into the new file:
