Quake 3 Arena Test 2 (1.07) is the dream benchmark for games, although idSoftware has indicated that the test is in no way representative of the final performance of Q3A upon shipping the test does allow us to run four different levels of benchmarks that stress both processors and video cards alike.   The four different settings are taken directly from the system configuration options and are 'Fastest', 'Fast', 'Normal' and 'High Quality'

The benchmark was run by bringing up the console (hit the '~' key), then by typing in 'timedemo 1' and hitting return then typing in 'demo q3testdemo1.dm3' and hitting return.  The tests were repeated until consistent results were obtained and then averaged and recorded.
