Been googling for a while but for the life of me can't figure out how to benchmark Incoming (GOG/Demo version)
Thought it would be as simple as running the game like Expendable (-timedemo, prefix as to start the game from shortcut) but no.

No menu option, even with the cheats enabled "secret menu" no option.

Who knows how to do it?

Incoming doesn't have a benchmark that I'm aware of, but you can add -framerate to the command line.

The attract mode runs at ~60 FPS for me in Windows 10 with dgVoodoo, but on my Socket 754 XP rig with a X800 Pro, the attract mode blazes by at ~330 FPS. Gameplay is locked to 30 FPS though.

Aaa, could be that I'm confused, Phils Computer Lab always mentions it during his benchmarking. So could be that's wat got it imprinted in my mind.

Will try the framerate line though. Its more for testing old cards like the 740, TNT Vanta, M64 & Ultra or G450's on socket 1 or 370.

You want the demo version, when extracted there's two exes. One is dedicated to benchmarking.
