OpenArena benchmark results (with the most taxing graphics settings)

[SchumannFrequency]

fps: 964.0

graphic settings: 1080p resolution and each setting is set to the most taxing value

Hardware: Intel 12600KF (stock) -- Kingston 6200 MHz CL36 -- Sapphire RX 7600 -- BIOSTAR B760MZ-E PRO -- Antec P6 -- Xilence XP550 -- ARCTIC i35 -- EVO 850 500GB
Software: Clear Linux -- i3-wm -- Mesa GPU driver

Here are some dated results from this 1080p performance test.

Please include your specific hardware and apply the same graphics settings before doing the test.

1080p + most taxing

Ryzen 9 7900 PBO unlocked power + 240AIO(cheapest cooler) -- Gskill 6000 CL 28 -- RTX 4060 ti main RTX 4070 secondary --- MSI X670E Tomahawk Wifi -- 1200Watt power -- Evo 970 1TB

Windows 11 (some unnecessary features disabled, only 2 nanoseconds slower than safe mode) -- Normal Nvidia driver

Result:

4% GPU usage, 2% CPU usage, 30Celcius temperatures, 91 FPS. If I extrapolate using GPU usage, it should go more than 2000 FPS.

I couldnt get it show the results on console. You might wanna add a guide to test this. I did

timedemo 1
cg_drawfps 1
demo demo001_test1
com_maxfps 0

then select it on DEMOS and let it run. It runs the demo fine, but it doesnt give any results on console afterwards. (This could be due to windows build being different)

If I had to guess, it ran about 500fps~ on average (system on specs). It barely uses GPU though. I guess its heavily bound by CPU.

Ok. Here is a guide.

1. Open the game and check (all) the graphics settings. Set each setting to the most taxing value. Then apply the changes, and restart the game just to be sure.
Check that your settings have been remembered.
2. Open the console via the Shift + Esc key combination. Type the following text:
set TIMEDEMO 1
And then press enter and Shift + Esc again to close the console.
3. Run the demo.
4. View the fps values in the console by pressing Shift + Esc.

This is how to measure it on most Linux and BSD systems. Step 2. is probably not even necessary.
I think it will work the same way in windows10/11.

A total of more than 8 000 maps have been developed for this game.
Although it is an old game, many maps still look acceptable on the highest graphics settings.
