Hey Phil, any games you'd suggest I'd throw at these cards? I'm really just trying to justify a reason to use this TNT2 Pro. 🤣 I test with 3DMark, Q3 and RtCW. Looking for something that isn't a Quake engine game. I wanted to bench Soldier of Fortune, even though its Q2 based, but the demo1.dm2 I found won't work with the version I have so that backfired.

Got Unreal? At the start press ~ for the console to come down and type timedemo 1

I usually take the third run.

Attached is fraps that runs in 98. For a quick and easy test just find a spot in your favourite game, save the game, write down the FPS, then change resolutions. Give you a rough idea.

But you can also log some actual gameplay if you want.

I have Unreal but that gives the Voodoo a unfair advantage. 😉

Oh I thought you're going to quickly checkout resolution scaling to see if the CPU is fast enough.

Oops my bad.
No, I'm looking for games that I can benchmark and compare the 2 cards. I've learned today that the "dynamic lights" option in Quake 3, when turned off gives a nice boost in fps, nearly 8fps! With no noticeable quality drop unless you're looking for light flicker from explosions and rockets, etc.
