- FPS observed is 60.2
It's because KMS is limiting rendering to the refresh rate of your monitor to avoid tearing.
- Disable KMS and run the test again with the same resolution With UMS FPS is 118.4
I always thought the pts demo was not as good as the anholt one for openarena - too long and mostly not enough going on so that the average fps gets pulled up by easy scenes that are 100-200fps.
