Quake 3 testing - Frames Per Second. Longer bars are better. Set Quake's settings to HIGH QUALITY and only adjust the resolution - nothing fancy, but repeatable honest scores. :>) If you want to tweak your config file for even more performance, you can tweak your config file to get faster framerates (at the loss of some detail).
