Messiah Benchmarks?

Are there any plans to have a Messiah benchmark utility? I'd love to use messiah as a D3D performance gauge.

What the hell would be the point? The engine adjusts the polygon level to keep a steady framerate so benchmarking would be useless.

Not exactly. For instance: Given a specified framerate, how many polys are rendered per frame?

ok let me begin
my Pcspecs are :
Celeron333a(not overclocked)
GeForce 256 SDR(CLabs)(driver v. 5.13)
Abit Be6,CL Sb 64 AWE

Savegame 3 Level1:
desired fps: 15
DBufffer: W
Resolution: 800X600 16 bit
character detail level: high
character detail level: low
polygons on posessed cop:

1. RUN withhout T&L:
1252 polygons
2. RUN without T&L:
1340 polygons
3. RUN with T&L:
2161 polygons
4. RUN with T&L:
2161 polygons

(for each run I loaded the savegame again)

=> if u want to compare these scores with mine I can give u my savegame (Marcetex@gmx.net)
oh and to see the polygoncount just pause Messiah with ESC and type onpolycount and u will see the polygoncount of each character and weapon....

ooops !

it was character detail level: high
character texture detail : low

[Marcetex]

I uploaded a snap and the savegame so u dont have to email me...blahblah ;-)

oh did I forget something ?

M - E - S - S - I - A - H

I - S

A- W - E - S - O - M - E

The gameplay is outstanding the graphics blow away all I've ever seen

The little Bob looks TOO COOL with 18000 polygons ))

Remember that Quake3 only contains about 20000 polygons per szene !!!

hehe now I really forgot something:

the savegame: http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkrat.../savegame3.zip

a snapshot: http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkrat...79/scrn001.jpg

to make it easier for u I took 2 screenshots with and without T&L...each has only about 100kb but has good quality so it wont hurt u to look at it

without HW-T&L: http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkrat...679/d3dhal.jpg

with HW-T&L: http://www.fortunecity.de/wolkenkrat...r/679/hwtl.jpg

This must piss off the people that SHOUTED AT US for not having any GeForce support.

Obviously we have GeForce support!

Marcetex, please try to help us help others to get their hardware working like yours.
