This is HWspirit's custom recorded demo file for Quake 4 that we are using for benchmarking different video card / system configurations. We created this file and are sharing it with you, because in Quake 4 there is no default demo file included within the game (unlike in Doom 3). You are welcome to download and try this demo on your PC and compare the results with ours. Download Quake 4 HWS demo (.torrent file, you'll beed BT client)
