Benchmark apps for video cards?

[barlav]

I'm looking for an app that will give my video card a real good test and that will report Frames Per Second. Are there any good free ones out there? Thanks!

Biggs, the Q3 demo001/demo002 program, is it a benchmark one? or just a playable demo of q3..not sure.
and where can I get it?

Thanks 😉

barlav, the quake 3 demo is found within the quake 3 game itself. It's been the de facto standard for benchmarking CPU's, memory and vid cards cuz it scales well depending upon your system.

To use it, just go to the quake 3 console by pressing the tilde key(~) then type
timedemo 1
demo demo001.dm3
