This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This test calculates the average frame-rate within the Prey retail game from 3D Realms. This test requires a valid game key and game files found on the retail CD/DVD. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
