From the console type "timedemo 1" w/o quotes to enable the fps counter. To get the timedemo fps average for the cityintro demo that plays when you start UT, type "start cityintro" at the console after enabling timedemo, and let the demo run until it loops back to beginning.
Increment the mem and core clocks by 3 or so, apply the adjusted clock settings, and then run Q3 in a timedemo loop (more than just one timedemo) or do something to stress the 3D functionality for a reasonable amount of time. Check for visual artifacts. Rinse and repeat until you get some...
BFG, the comparison is COMPLETELY valid when comparing cards and allowing 3dfx cards to use Glide with UT. To be honest, when benching the 3dfx cards, the testers should pick the API that would provide the best results for that particular resolution. No one is going to buy a Voodoo5500 and...
