Benchmarking


Question

I was recently in CompUSA and saw Quake III Arena on one Mac and Return To Castle Wolfenstein on another. During gameplay both were displaying current FPS, I am wondering how this was done and how to do this for the PC versions? Does it involve running some benchmarking software in the background? I've never really done any benchmarks before and after seeing the Macs displaying FPS I became interested in how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

When in the game press tilde the button next to the 1 (`) under the escape key. That will open the console then type what I posted earlier exactly as shown into the console then press enter.

Type /timedemo 1, them I beileve in Quake III Arena if you have the latest patch their is a menu called 'demos', under there are recoreded demos of gameplay. Click on one of them after you typed /timedemo 1 into the console to benchmark it.

Then after it drops back to the main menu, press tilde (`) to open the console and it should say your average FPS were.
