Or a better way to benchmark your overall FPS, bring down the console, type 'timedemo demo1' and wait for it to play after which it'll give you the results. -- -- There is no spoon.

The system is whacked as all hell. Running timedemos gives me results in the 20s, but I hold a steady 40-50 in-game. Only thing timedemo is really good for is to compare before-after performance without playing (or at least that's my opinion) -- -SnoopJeDi

Or Radeon 9800 Pro. He DID say 6600, not 6800. Which ain't so bad really, for 8 pixel pipes and 128 megs. McG.

It ran a lot slower than the game itself actually does. Whereas in Q3, I get a nice 125 FPS in both the timedemo and the game. <g> Admittedly, I have capped my FPS at 125...
