I see all the cool benchmarks posted here and decided to see what my old system can do for this new game.
This is really good for a laugh.
So last night I downloaded and installed The UT 2003 demo. I had no time for a full range of benchmarks but i will do those and post later.
My system is viewable in my rig's link. (p3-500 @561 | 256mb pc133 | Voodoo5 | Aureal Vortex2)
I regularly play UT and TacOps on this machine.
I ran the game just to see how it'd run. Ran fine for about 3 minutes, changed some settings...
When I quit to the desktop, there were refresh lines on the screen (kinda like you'd see on a screen in a videom but there were both horiz and vert lines thick and thin, randomly moving around...). I run my desktop @ 1600x1200x32 on my dell 19".
After fooling with my desktop settings, I finally just had to reboot to make the shimmering go away.
SO I ran the benchmark.exe at 1024x768 figuring that it'd be the first res I'd try to play.
It completed flyby just fine (I could tell it was not gonna be playable) and about a minute into botmatch the screen displayed some corrupt polys and stuff and the comp froze.
So tonight I'm gonna try de-O'Cing my box, starting at 640x480 and running more tests.
I have one question, where do the batch files come from that are referenced in some of these threads? I saw no benchmarking batch files, only the benchmark.exe.
