We're
very impressed with the performance of the nForce4 Ultra chipset. Even though
it's using a slower videocard in this test, it's able to get higher framerates.
The older systems are no slouches in terms of performance either, which makes
this even more impressive.
Doom 3 is
the most advanced game to date. it takes advantage of the latest videocard
technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At
its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which
means even tomorrow's videocards will have a hard time running everything. The
frame rates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point
is wasted. Each test is run three times with the third run being
recorded.

excellent results for the GA-K8NXP-9 and nVidia's new chipset as it takes this
most demanding of gaming benchmarks, and ranks in with 114FPS. Pair the nForce 4
with the Ahtlon 4000+ and the results are very impressive; it's nice to see the
NF4 Ultra was worth the wait!
