I know this is kind of the wrong place, but it pertains to my last post(s). I've noticed that while playing UT2003 and Raven Shield, I've had much higher framerates than what the benchmarks betray. In UT2003, my highest was around 120, lowest was 40 in some cases. Now, under the exact same situation, I'm getting 150 high, 80 low. I use a slightly lower texture resolution (Higher as opposed to Highest) as there's virtually no way to tell the difference between the two (even if you compare side by side, there's a very slight difference), yet gives quite a big fps boost.

Maybe I'll run some custom benchmarks...speaking of which, perhaps we could start a UT2003 benchmark thread? Not everybody has it, but it's used with virtually every test these days, and is an excellent way to guage system performance.
