Half-Life Opposing Force Benchmark DEMO
Great retro PC benchmark by "BlastFromThePast!" from the YouTube channel of the same name. By running it, you will know the performance of your machine in games running on the 1st Half-Life engine. The
benchmark is based on the demo version of Opposing Force.
After extracting the archive to your hard drive, create a shortcut on your desktop:
"%DRIVE%:\%PATCH_TO_Opposing Force Demo%\ofdemo -dev -console.exe"
where %DRIVE% is the logical drive letter, and %PATCH_TO_Opposing Force Demo% is the path to the Opposing Force folder.
After starting the game, adjust the graphics, enter the "console" mode and enter the command "timedemo blast" without quotes. After the test is completed, the game will display the result in FPS. For
the best result, the author recommends running the benchmark twice.
From the author of the benchmark:
"My oldschool Pentium II 450 with single 8MB Voodoo2 will render the scene with 49fps at 800x600."
On my own, I'll add that my Pentium III 800 with a 3Dfx Voodoo 3 3000 AGP 16MB card gives an approximate result of 60.1 fps at 800x600.
By the way, if you're a fan of Nvidia's Riva 128 card, take a look in the "goodies" folder of the same archive, it's probably the best driver you can get. It also has something else interesting.
