Heh, it took my a few minutes to discover it's really the ` key, not ~

Put utbench.dem in your System/ directory.

On my PIII/600 w/ Voodoo5 @ 1024x768, 32bpp and otherwise default settings
I got this:

2936 frames rendered in 108.08 seconds. Min 14.81 Max 46.69 Avg 27.16

That's using the tdfx-3-0-0 branch code.
