Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

With the resolution at 1024x768 we clearly see that we're all system limited. It's funny to see the Radeon 8500 beat out the Radeon 9700 Pro in the NV15demo.
