In case you have an old pc (pentium 90 and below I'd say) then you can run Doom in a demo mode to calculate your frames per second. I never knew about it back in the day.

I saw Philscomputerlab do this before and then read about it in an old copy of PC Zone magazine I have. So I made a video last month with my compaq 486 to measure how many fps it could generate (less than I thought).

Take a look here and try it for yourself

So awesome, I wish I had 486's to benchmark!

They are out there for sure. I just got a 486 laptop this week. But they are few and far between. Some others on the internet seem to pull them from dumpsters all the time, I wish I knew where these magical dumpsters were located

Pulled a few out from the dumpster, but not that common any more
But have a laptop and a workstation in working order
