"Benchmarking in Quake 3"

I can't for the life of me remember how to do it :(
something like "timedemo 001"
please put me out of my misery :)

It's not a bad score. GeForce 3 T500?

Valentino, 971 is a really appalling score.

Hmmm, 112fps flyby @ 1024x768 in UT2003 - any good? :/

Oh, as for UT2003, there's a program called benchmark.exe within the System folder of your UT2003 installation directory, just run that and select the resolution, it'll do a flyby and botmatch test.

I should try some of these myself..

Hit the ` key (next to 1) from within Q3 (ensuring you're at the resolution you want to benchmark), then type

timedemo 1
demo demo001

Let the demo run, then press ` again to see your results.

Sniper (or anyone) can you be really helpful and remind me how to use the benchmarks on Q3 and UT2003 - haven't run benchmark since last year and now my memories gone :(

*Quite

3dMark is quiet a load of tripe.
Rather use games to benchmark even if i dont do it.

I'm desperate to get this timedemo function working but can't remember how to and turbo's post doesn't work,

help please

sorry, link doesn't work, try www.david99.tk

Used 3DMark 2001 as you suggested - it's a lot smaller file to download also :)

Score of just 945, results can be found at www.david99.co.uk/3dm1-945.html
