Benchmarks & Comparisons With Doom 3 - Multi-player

The Wait Is Over!.

Doom 3

The first round of Doom 3 focused on single-player performance. In this round we'll run a series of multi-player tests and see how things unfold. These timedemos were run with our custom "HH_Frag2" demo, which is a recording of a five-player on-line match that took place in the "Frag Chamber" map area. For this batch of tests, we also ran benchmarks with Doom 3 set to its "High-Quality" mode at resolutions of 1,024 x 768 and 1,600 x 1,200 without any anti-aliasing enabled and then with 4X AA and 8X Aniso enabled concurrently. Note: Doom 3 enabled 8X anisotropic filtering automatically when set to "High Quality" in the game's control panel.

Our custom multi-player Doom 3 benchmark tells pretty much the same story as the single-player results from the previous page. The All-In-Wonder X800 XT performed well, but not nearly as well as the NVIDIA powered GeForce 6800 GT. In this round of tests, the GeForce 6800 GT's performance was a bit more dominant, as it was able to outperform all of the ATI powered cards at both resolution, in both test configurations, with the lone exception of the Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition in the 1024x768 tests.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
