List your Quake 3 Bench results !

[nOx34]

Common guys , show us some great things :

Default benchmarking mode for everyone :

1024x768
Everything maxed out .

[STEvil]

300+

Lol , exact score would be nice .....meh , i think no one cares about this anyway ....

[LilGator]

Where can it be acquired ?

[nOx34]

just use the game timedemo :

lauche quake 3 , pop the console menu (dont forget to previously set specified gfx settings)

:

type
/timedemo 1 [enter]
/demo demo001 [enter]

When it's done , just pop the console chek out your results.


I just thought it'd be fun to see what ppl can do nowadays with their OCed systems... guess i was wrong :stick:

I think we should compete in actual game benchmarks... 3dmark is great because you can compare scores on the orb but this shows real performance... But I guess youd have to buy the game and all the benchmarks we already do are free.

If we're gonna have fun, why not bench some Quake 2 crusher? :D

[nOx34]

All you need is the demo version :

Hmm who knows maybe among other things if q3a had an extensive online comparative database like Futuremark's ORB it would take off and be a widely accepted benchmark tool.. but then again maybe not :)

and even if there is, it should be done with the same .cfg file, coz the quality settings that are in the setup/system are only about 2% of all the settings that can be changed through the console

If we all dont change them , then it's fine don't you agree ?

Using a standard cfg would guarantee that everyone has the same settings. Typing "\exec benchconfig" in the console is fast and easy and guarantees everyone will have the same game settings.

True ! :stick:

Although it seems this idea was dead from the gitgo !

You should've just asked for a 640x480 lowest possible quality, highest possible framerate competition..... Then I would have submitted this: :D

[LilGator]

I think we should bench it 1600x1200, everything on MAX settings...this is after all an old game.

does anyone know how to write a config for this that we can all load ?

Shouldnt be too hard :p:

Wich resolution do we want to compete at ?

3Dmark is not so good sometimes.. due to extreme variations in FPS/ scores in certain test such as Car Low and few other tests. Other than that, I love 3dmark.. This bench obviously, is good for all of us because we can go by its public default setting, very easy to deal with.


Quake3A is a very good benchmark. As we know it is good for your own personal bench, to test/compare your own system overclock settings. And there is no extreme fluctuations in FPS like 3dmark loves to do.. Consistency on the Q3A is... awesome. =)


I need to load up Q3A bench and start using it again.. to check out my system performance.. I loved Q3A... and still love it.

OK guys we need a yardstick:

everyone bench lowest possible settings 640x480...
then bench default configuration, just run it
then bench everything at the max 1600x1200

Average the three FPS, and post your final result. :)

[saaya]

well that what i benched :P

min details 640x480 and max details 1600x1200 and my default config is 1024x768 with max details :D
