Released in the year 2000 and sequel to MDK from 1997. In MDK2 you play Kurt, Max and Doctor Hawkins. They all face action and puzzles in order to complete the game.

MDK2 requires DirectX5.0 and runs on a Pentium 200 with a 4MB 3D-accelerator, but a Pentium II 300 with 8MB 3D-accelerator is recommended. I use MDK2 to benchmark the minimum specs all the way up to the GeForce4 Ti cards.

My benchmark method


Start MDK2 Demo and configure either 1024x768 or 1280x1024 at 16-bit. Click on 'Test settings' and let the demo run. When the demo finishes you'll get the average frames per second.
