Did run it as well in all resolutions available on the CuMine in the sig:

1resolution		software		  ogl
2   320x240		92.8 fps		230.0 fps
3   400x300		78.7 fps		232.1 fps
4   512x384		60.8 fps		235.4 fps
5   640x480		47.3 fps		234.0 fps
6   800x600		36.2 fps		236.2 fps
7   960x720		28.3 fps		234.6 fps
8  1024x768		25.3 fps		223.8 fps
9  1152x864		21.4 fps		216.3 fps
10  1280x960		18.2 fps		197.6 fps

Trying to get it to run in a VM now for a bit of fun.

Will we get all those results in some nice table afterwards?

Hi all. First time poster.

I came across this topic yesterday, and I thought I would see what my Windows 98 retro rig (bare metal) could do. Here are the specs:

Gigabyte GA-P75-D3
Core i5-3570 (3.4 GHz Base, 3.8 GHz Turbo)
8 GB DDR3 RAM (Win98 limited to 1GB in SYSTEM.INI)
GeForce 6800 GS (256MB, PCI-E) - Forceware 77.72
Windows 98 SE

Timedemo (Software) 1280x960 = 115.0 FPS Average

Is there a way to set a custom resolution in Quake 2 like 1080p?

How about spoiling the fun with virtual CPU? 😁

timedemo 1
map demo1.dm2

1689 frames, 3.5 seconds: 197.1 fps (software)
2689 frames, 1.1 seconds: 603.3 fps (default OpenGL)

Win98SE on QEMU WHPX/MESAGL pass-through
AMD FX8300/GeForce GT730
While both CPU and GPU are not the latest and greatest, the GPU is still lightyears more advanced than the best GPU that you can get Win98 drivers.
Yes, it is unfair, so what....

Interesting! But I don't think it's likely that the VOGONS forum members in the Marvin subforums are likely to care, or to count your result. 😁

Hi!

I don't know if it matters here because of the OS, but I got these numbers with my Win ME PC (Pentium 4 @ 2.4, 512MB RAM, Geforce 2 MX400 64MB, Intel D845 chipset motherboard):

Default OpenGL:
640x480: 75FPS
1024x768: 75.1FPS
1280x960: 70.9FPS

Software:
320x240: 167.2FPS
640x480: 65.3FPS
1024x768: 30.5FPS
1280x960: 21.2FPS

I think using a desktop class virtual CPU is truly unfair 😁
So I switched to mobile, fan-less ultrabook.

"Run virtually, play everywhere"... ditto 😁
