So after watching a lame XFL debut (NFL, I’ll never leave you again), reader Anthony Cardinale sends us his Quake III: Arena benchmarks for his PowerBook G4 Titanium 400MHz/128MB. These benchmarks were taken with version 1.17 (not the latest version, 1.27 wouldn’t run with 128MB) using the demo1 time-demo.
| 16-bit color | 32-bit color | |
| 800×600 | 29 fps | 18.1 fps |
| 1024×768 | 20.4 fps | N/A |
1024×768 32-bit Unable to complete this test because Q3 would not switch to that resolution at 32-bit (probably unavailable with only 8MB VRAM).
Anthony, you rock. Anthony also noted that the game is indeed playable on the TiBook. So there’s a pretty good idea of the TiBook’s overall hardware performance.
