Add possibly a driver company and version?  That may help differenciate
also.

and I'd like an option:

V3 model: (to choose between 1000/2000/3000 and PCI/AGP)
V3 core speed: (for us overclockers...)


if I see those two included, I will mail you the benchmark right away....

Damn. I was going to put that. Yes, deffinitely mention driver - 3dfx?
WickedGL? And the version number too.

P2-400 (not o'clocked)
192MB pc100
Voodoo3 3000 @ 166Mhz
Wicked3d ver 1.1 (Regular Install)
Voodoo Settings : 
		Alpha = Auto
		Video = Normal
		Gamma = 1.09
		Force Triple buffering
Game Options :  	
		Everything off except Simple Items and Identify Target
Special settings in my cfg : 
		cg_errordecay "0"
 		cg_gibs "0"
 		cg_marks "0"
		cg_shadows "0"
		cg_drawGun "0"
Graphic Options : 	(1)
	           Color Depth - 	32 Bit
		Lighting - 		Vertex
		Geometric Detail - 	High
		Texture Detail - 	3/3
		Texture Quality - 	32 Bit
		Texture Filter -  	Trilinear
 			(2)
	           Color Depth - 	32 Bit
		Lighting - 		Vertex

		Texture Detail -  	2/3

			demo1	demo2		demo1	demo2
demo1	demo2
640x480		53.7	53.8		52.5	53.6		38.6
39.8
800x600		52.8	53.0		51.9	52.2		35.5
34.6
960x720		53.3	53.6		51.9	52.4		34.9
35.3
1024x768		50.8	51.2		49.5	50.1
32.5	33.0

Notes:
I didn't feel it was worth my while to test other resolutions.
I found that with Lighting set to Lightmap that there was a 5-12 fps 
decrease depending on the setting, so I just dimmed the brightness 
control  some and deal with it.
Enabling Force mipmap dithering freezes my pc, so that is not posted
here.
I found that a regular install of wickedgl improves the framerate over
a high res install.
Needless to say I'm sticking with my hard work and going with #1 :)
Anything else needed I'll be glad to supply.
