(note: even though Q3Bench has it's own board, it's long abandoned so I thought I'd make a first post in here) Hey guys.... I haven't been around in a long time (howdy). This morning I was reminded of Q3Bench.(http://www.guru3d.com/q3bench/) It's been so long I was thinking about letting the source code go (not that I thought anyone would care). I pretty much gave up when the only other Q3 engine game that would work with Q3Bench was RTCW. But, I just spent a few hours with the code and Call Of Duty and it works! (woot) Q3 is a 4 year old engine, but Call Of Duty is still fairly harsh on systems at high detail levels, so I figured what the heck. A CODBench may have some value. If anything it could help someone quickly see an across the board performance breakdown to choose which graphics settings are the best. I've changed enough of the code to get it to work, but figure I need a few days to clean everything up and learn the new/differnt call of duty graphics commands. I dont' know if anyone of you guys even gives a toot about this, but I could probably use beta testers in the next couple of days. I need to make sure that the results are very close to manual runs. Following tradition, Q3Bench used "low", "high" and "max" runs. I need some kind of input on exactly which graphics options you guys think should be used for each of those three default levels. (THANKS for any help). And, this time around I'm sticking my name somewhere on it but giving all the credit/ownership to Guru3D. I used the game to help make 3 new config files and massaged them into the code for a sample run. Here's it is: Code: -------------------- CODBench RESULTS --------------------- FILE: CODb_022504_161624.txt START TIME: Wednesday, February 25, 2004 04:16:24 PM COMMENT: COD / 2500+ @ 205x11, 9800Pro / DFI: UI BENCHMARK SETUP: ---------------- DEMO: Timedemo1 CFG FILES RUN: Normal High Maximum RESOLUTIONS RUN: 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200 NUMBER OF RUNS: 3 times.

OK, everyone's got it that asked. And, I haven't heard of any problems yet. I'm going to stop giving it out as I'm close to finising the version with the custom config file options. Thanks!
No problem, I'll help Play Call of Duty all the time, love to tweak roland_den_hollander@hotmail.com (msn) good luck !
Hey Roland and Raven's Blood - I've very close to finishing the next beta with the custom config options (at least the options supported by the menu). I'll send it to you when I'm done. Hmmmm... Very little feedback in here
