Hey Chunky-

Here's what I get from a 512x384:

UT2003 Build UT2003_Build_[2002-10-28_01.28]
No OS
GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 868 MHz
GeForce3/AGP/SSE

dm-asbestos?game=engine.gameinfo exec=../Benchmark/Stuff/flybyexec.txt 
-benchmark -seconds=71 -nosound

40.617603 / 83.735649 / 244.811188 fps         rand[1706911054]
Score = 71.990059

And from 1152x864:
UT2003 Build UT2003_Build_[2002-10-28_01.28]
No OS
GenuineIntel PentiumPro-class processor @ 868 MHz

dm-asbestos?game=engine.gameinfo exec=../Benchmark/Stuff/flybyexec.txt 
-benchmark -seconds=71 -nosound
