ET:QW was benched using a custom recorded demo
using the console command "RecordNetDemo bench1" then benching it
using the command "TimeNetDemo bench1". If you attempt this,
make sure you apply the following console commands prior to
recording your demo. First off, to get into the console press
Ctrl + Alt + ~ at the same time. Next type without the quotes,
"seta com_unlockFPS 1" next "seta com_unlock_maxFPS 0". This
will prevent the game from capping the FPS at 60FPS. You will
still be capped at 30FPS while you are in the menu. Next if
you want to keep an eye on your FPS, you can type, "seta com_showFPS
1". You should only have to type these once, and they should
be saved to your config file.

Conclusion:
I was really impressed
with the Sapphire 3870 Toxic video card. AMD/ATI has
concentrated their efforts on the mid-range card and have really
pulled something off with the 3870. Sapphire has even taken it
a little further by offering an incredible bundle, full retail
3Dmark06, 3 full retail games in the Black Box and a great Cyberlink
bundle, not to mention the HDMI cable that's included.
The bottom line is the 3870 is a great mid-range GPU and Sapphire
has only added to that greatness. The Vapor-X increases the
potential overclocking ability of the card, while keeping the card
cool and quiet, all while only using one slot. I'm very
impressed with the Sapphire 3870 Toxic card and fully recommend it.
