| 3DLabs Wildcat VP990 512 MB LFB but... Whatever Happened to the Specs | |

Alias WaveFront Phoenix Plug-in
Phoenix, named after the mythological bird is a program that simulates spontaneous combustion, that is, things are set on fire and the flames proliferate until they consume the object with the necessary smoke being generated. Pretty cool stuff, indeed for those wo need pyro effects on a regular basis. Kyle Bennett would have made a good object here, too, but then, he was too [H]ard to model into the scene :)
We used the maximum number of sprites allowed and full scene antialiasing to add a bit more stress to the exercise.

Runtime in second, shorter is better.
Running several independent (pseudo-random, un-patterned) threads in parallel is almost by definition the stronghold of the Wildcat and it does not disappoint either.
Caligari TrueSpace 4.2 PublicBench
Frames per second, higher is better. At the overclocked settings we managed to squeeze 145 fps out of the Wildcat, alas, because of stability issues, we don't feel it adequate to include these scores.
