PC FPS Benchmark assistance please

[VR46]

Know how helpful you all are my memory is not as good as it used to be, comparing a couple of PC's and graphics cards and want to find out how to run the frame-rate benchmarks in:

Quake 2
Quake 3
Unreal Tournament 2003
Half Life 1
Doom 3 Demo

Any help appreciated

Quake 3 : In console (~) /timedemo 1, then watch a demo when its done press ~ again for console to see results.

I believe there is an exe called Benchmark.exe in the UT2003 folder - execute it and follow the instructions...

HardOCP have a whole article about it along with their own UT2003 benchmarking tool: http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MzY4LDI=

doom 3 should be

timedemo demo1.demo (ignore the first results tho cos the textures arent cached, use 2nd run and onwards results)

or i think u can use

timedemo demo1.demo usecache

Ta.

so; Quake 2 - sorted
Quake 3 - sorted
Unreal Tournament 2003 - sorted
Half Life 1 - need to know still please
Doom 3 Demo - can't find control panel

EDIT: found it; "You can access the console by pressing the
combination CTRL+ALT+TILDE(~)"
