Quake 4
|
id Software, in conjunction with developer Raven, recently released the latest addition to the wildly popular Quake franchise, Quake 4. Quake 4 is based upon an updated and slightly modified version of the Doom 3 engine, and as such performance characteristics between the two titles are very similar. Like Doom 3, Quake 4 is also an OpenGL game that uses extremely high-detailed textures and a ton of dynamic lighting and shadows, but unlike Doom3, Quake 4 features some outdoor environments as well. We ran this these Quake 4 benchmarks using a custom demo with the game set to its "High-Quality" mode, at resolutions of 1,280 x 1,024 and 1,600 x 1,200 with 4X AA and 8X aniso enabled simultaneously.

As you probably expect by now, the XFX GeForce 8800 GTX XXX Edition was the fastest of all the cards we tested in our custom Quake 4 benchmark. Somewhat surprisingly, the new 320MB cards' smaller frame buffer didn't hold it back at all in Q4. The higher clocked XFX card outpaced both GTS reference cards, at both resolutions, regardless of frame buffer size.
