Benchmark on Quake2

[jes]

Is it possible to run a benchmark on Quake2?

Go to the console (~ key) and type "timedemo 1". Exit and wait for the demo to play, when it's finished go to the console again and you can see the average fps. Don't forget to type 'timedemo 0' before you start to play again. You can also start a demo directly but I forgot how.

Typically, in Quake2, you disable sound first, although you don't have to. At the console, enter the following commands:

s_initsound 0
snd_restart
timedemo 1
map demo1.dm2

The first two commands disable sound, the third tell Quake to run as fast as possible, and the fourth triggers demo1 at the console.
