Test Procedure

My testing procedure is to run the built-in benchmark from inside the game, then to run FRAPS from the opening scene all the way through to the closing explosion. Due to there being multiple black screens for the cut scenes throughout the benchmark, each time hitting the 257 FPS upper boundary; my average score is boosted up. Please take the results as a percentage difference between scores rather than solid performance FPS.
