I remember this looking so bloody good at the time. running it over and over with my 9500pro trying to eek out the last few MHz!

I wish modern engines had these feature sets still... there's something lost when we all follow the same pipelines :/

Tested my laptop which runs in windows 10. Specs are Ryzen 7 5800h, RTX 3060, and 16gb of ram. Didn’t need to do the no system info and it shows that information fine. I also ran it at a different resolution since my laptop screen isn’t 1080p. I ran it at 2560x1600. I got a score of 35536
