topic, i'm gonna attempt to overclock my graphics card and I want to see what the difference is. However, I do not have any money to spend on a benchmark (like 3dmark), so i'm sorta stuck. Are there any benchmarks for free or built into games? (i think i heard somewhere that UT2003 has one, but I'm not sure...)

you can download the freeware version of 3dmark 03 and 2001, and AquaMark 3

I would stray away from 3dmark 2003, there has been way too much controversy over it using useless and inefficient shaders. From what I have seen a lot of major sites are no longer using it either. AquaMark3 is free, looks very pretty, and is a valid representation of what is actually in games.
