Graphics Tests...where to get them

[Tweakin]

I'm looking for some real world tests as I continue to tweak my graphics system. CS had a nice little utility to test the system, and AT uses a time demo (I think) from HL2 and others...can these be downloaded from a site?

HL2:Lost Coast has a good stress test.

Other then loading steam, isn't there a site that has these time demos or stress tests available for download?

FarCry, HL2, CS:CC and the such...not synthetic

Ummm buy the game?

Agreed. But the CS:S stress test is lame... don't pay any attention to it because it doesn't at all resemble real world CS performance.

understand all the opinions, but I just want an easy way to look at FPS with different AA and AF settings with this widescreen...I'm almost thinking it's too much for a single 7800.

true.

what you can do though is make a timedemo and if it doesn't give you average framerate at the end then you can use fraps.

use the free demos [try http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_demos.html] to make your own custom timedemo

I think this question has come up before and you can email someone at Anandtech for the demos they use, correct me if im wrong I may be thinking of another site.
