CPU extrem test with UT

[Cyberian89]

hi!

1. if i want to extrem-test my CPU using Unreal Tournament i need to use a demo, e.g. UTbench.

to launch this demo i use the command "demoplay utbench". but this command only plays the demo _once_, but i want to run it indefinitly. does someone of you happen to know if there is a special UT console command that will play a demo indefinitly?

2. general question: which one is more work for a CPU: low or high resolution/color depth. i suppose a low resolution is more work for the CPU, because at a higher res/color depth the graphics card will also brake the system, so that the cpu is sometimes only waiting for the graphics card.

is that correct?

thank you!

use "software" in stead of direct3d, use as high resulution as possible, as much colors as possible (this is the way to heat up my processor, so i assume it is used heavily)

You could download QIII demo and run the looped test, which you have to download separately. Will run demo001 and demo002 (and any others you type in) indefinitely.

Unfortunately, this does not test the CPU as much as it tests the video card.

Run Prime95 or BurnP6 and throw the UT flyby on top of that. Puts more stress on the CPU.
