Benchmarks: Doom 3, Battlefield 2

Doom 3

Source: id Software

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.

Doom 3
LQ 640x480: FPS Ranking
2x 512MB Patriot PEP5125600ELK PC5600 (200/400) 127.5
2x 512MB Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL PRO (200/400) 126.4
2x 512MB Centon GEMiNi PC3200 (200/400) 125.7

2x 1024MB Corsair TwinX2048-4000PT (290/580) 134.6

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.

Battlefield 2

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.
