BF2S Forums Hidden Vista 3D Benchmarks

There's really nothing useful about this tip, but it's still pretty cool. There's a utility built into Windows Vista used for benchmarking your system called the System Assessment Tool. What most people don't know is that you can call this utility from the command line and view some cool 3D benchmarks.

You should be able to use a regular command prompt, but you'd have best luck using an administrator mode command prompt. (right-click and choose Run as Administrator). You should also note that it will temporarily disable Aero before running the test, but don't worry, it will re-enable it after.

Example:
Type this in a command window (Start > type 'cmd')

Code:

winsat aurora

winsat d3d -objs C(20) -texshader -totalobj 50
