how do you benchmark??

[gil1972]

in the video card reviews you always see graphs of benchmarks.
How can i benchmark my crad?
how do you use games like "wolfenstein" and "jedi outcast"
for benchmarking?
i know about 3dmark,but how can you benchmark these games?

I dont know in these games but is is usually a command you type in the console,like in Quake for example.In Q3,first version,you type:"r_swapinterval 0"
"timedemo1"
"demo demo001"
try to look in the games manual.
here is a little program they told me about at via ,it counts frames in the game.Havent tested it though.
