if you dont already know there is a benchmark you can run in SupCom. at the end of your target in the shortcut add /map PerfTest. when you run the game it will run a benchmark at the settings you usualy run at and after its finished will dump to windows and give you your perftest score. the lower the better.
you can also test with no sound by using the command /map PerfTest /nosound at the end of the target in the shortcut.
my score is 86.6 with the sound on and 72.4 with the sound off. specs are as follows:
graphical options set to high fidelity preset, nothing changed. resolution was 1280x1024 75hz.
Pentium D 820
7800GTX 256mb card
2gb 6400 geil ram
DS3 motherboard and using the onboard sound.
some people are getting much lower scores with the sound off (50+ points) while others like me are only getting 14 which is interesting. a new C2D in a few weeks will be good to see what a difference it can make to the score.
