Hardware Benchmarks and Games.

[Toryglen-boy]

Talking to a china of mine last night, and i was telling him about how naff it is to compare benchmarks from accelerators etc. as an *accurate* indicator of gaming performance on Amiga's, I argued that the only indicator you could use would be something like Integer Performance on AIBB, he argues a test like Write pixel is a better indicator of gaming performance, who is right? surely its me, and he is talking a load of fanny.


thanks

I've been using Quake timedemo demo1 recently to compare my Amigas.

It's not that easy, because you can find some game that runs faster on machine 1 than on machine 2 while some other game will run faster on machine 2 than on machine 1. So i'm afraid i have to tell you that an *accurate* indicator simply can't exist.
So for who is right, the answer is either both of you, or that you're both wrong. Choose
