Q3 1.17 vs 1.27 benchmarking results.

[Vrangel]

Finally someone converted Q3 demo001 from 1.17 to 1.27 :

I have both 1.17 and 1.27 versions and TeamArena installed .
And I ran demo001 in all three , identical settings.

Here are results:
1.27h - 5% fps drop compared to 1.17
TA 1.27h -10% fps drop compared to 1.17

Texture compression was on in all three. (1.17 compression hacked to show nice sky)
No dlls installed in any version.

Try it guys, I am curious if its the same on your systems.

Since you are on the subject, how about 1.27g to 1.27h? In demo127, I get 66 in 1.27g and 74.4 in 1.27h. What is strange is that I get 66.4 in Reverands 010101 in 1.27g and 58.8 in 1.27h. I have to run the tests again since teh resuts dont seem right. BTW, test was run @ 1024 x 768 x 32 SHQ everything set to max quality, High, TC enabled.

On my 1.1ghz the gameplay was all the same, no drop in performance from either version. When I try all three on my p2 300, 384mb ram and a geforce 2 gts 32mb, the performance drop is very noticable. I have yet to try to demo001 it yet.
