Final Reality benchmark (60 fps)

Final Reality (PC, 1997) 3D graphics accelerator benchmark for PC by VNU European Labs & Remedy Entertainment. Music by Teque & Purple Motion (Tero Kostermaa & Jonne Valtonen). While it wasn’t possible to do a single run Fraps recording due to 3D scenes getting severely corrupted, doing the recording in parts was the key to success (the 3D scenes work when you disable 2D scenes). At least this was my experience under i7 920, Gigabyte GTX 460 SOC and Win7 64-bit. Original video resolution was 640 x 480, which was resized (using Lanczos3) to fit 1920 x 1080 frame. 4 x AA and 16 x AF along with some other possible improvements were forced from Nvidia control panel. At least AA seemed to have an effect. Not entirely sure about the others :) Audio is not from the benchmark Fraps recordings. It had very loud volume level and generally poorer quality than what i was able to get from a Fasttracker playback of the soundtrack .xm running under DOSBox. You can’t install Final Reality () under Win7 64-bit, as the old InstallShield setup software is incompatible. You can however install it in some older system (or under some virtual machine), and then just copy the contents of Final Reality folder to a modern computer and run the benchmark.
