Performance Comparisons with Doom 3 - Multi-Player

Details: http://www.doom3.com/

Doom 3

The first round of Doom 3 tests on the previous page focused on single-player performance. This time around, though, we'll take a look at a few test results using a custom multi-player demo to see how things unfold. These tests were taken with our custom "HH_Frag2" demo, which is a recording of a five-player online deathmatch that took place in the "Frag Chamber" map. Like the single-player tests, we ran this batch of benchmarks with Doom 3 set to its "High-Quality" mode. The timedemos were run at resolutions of 1,280 x 1,024 and 1,600 x 1,200 without anti-aliasing enabled and then with 4X anti-aliasing and 8X anisotropic filtering enabled concurrently.

Our custom multiplayer Doom 3 benchmark tells the same story as the single player benchmark on the previous page. Regardless of the test settings or resolution, the EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GTX was the fastest single video card we tested. And just looking at those graphs proves ATI has their work cut out for them. The EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GTX makes the Radeon X850 XT Platinum Edition seem like an entry-level video card when playing Doom 3.

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
