fr-025: the popular demo is a PC demo scene for Windows by the German demo group Farbrausch. It was released at the Breakpoint 2003 demo party held in Bingen, Germany, between April 18th and April 21st 2003. It one first place in the Breakpoint 2003 PC demo competition and it deserved it, it is still a really good-looking demo with a compelling sound-track and nice graphics after nearly 20 years.
fr-025 is one of the few demo scene demos using DirectX9 that work perfectly with Wine's wined3d DX9 implementation, Gallium Nine and DXVK. It is therefore a great for doing comparisons between the three.

the final.version offers a few options:
you can select your desired screen resolution.
there are some optimisations that make 1024x768
perform particulary well.
if your display has a non-standard aspect ratio like
16:10, you can tell the demo to adjust for that.
"windowed" and "loop demo" will do exactly that.
if your graphics card drivers are up to date and you
have DirectX 9.0a installed, you can switch on multi-
sampling to enable anti-alias. this increases image
quality a lot, but may also rise compatibility
problems. tip: try 320x240 with multisampling, that
looks cool :-)
if you encounter problems running this demo, you can
choose "low image quality".
this will reduce some internal buffers yielding
better performance, lower memory requirements and
makes things a bit ugly.
if the demo runs jerky you might try to "wait for
vblank". on some systems it makes things better, on
others it makes things worse.
if you enable the benchmark mode, the demo will
display a benchmark value after it is finished. but
don't take that value too seriously...
