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.

While memory size does play a bit of a difference here
in Doom 3, the latency handicap is not enough for the Corsair TwinX2048-4000PT
to overcome at stock speeds.

The Guru3D demo is a pure environmental map with no
bots, which is why framerates are so high in the Battlefield 2 benchmark. It
should be clear that the systems with more physical memory installed perform
much better with this game. If you who would like to compare your results to
ours, you can read up here on how to benchmark with Battlefield 2.
