How to benchmark Left 4 Dead?

[crazlunatic]

Hi. How do I benchmark left 4 dead properly? I was told I have to record a demo and then use the timedemo command to play it, then it would get me graphs and fps info.

Other than that I'm not sure. If that's the case, there must be downloadable time demoes so a standard can be set, otherwise results will be all over the place.

Anyway, what's the best and right way to benchmark l4d? Thanks!
