Benchmarks: UT2004, Doom 3

Unreal Tournament 2004
Source: Epic

Unreal Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard if you plan to play competitively.

2x 1024MB Patriot PDC2G4000ELK (276/552) 190.36

At stock speeds due to looser memory timings, the Patriot PDC2G400ELK trails the other memory slightly. When overclocked it takes a small lead.

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 Centon GEMiNi PC3200 (200/400)	125.7
2x 1024MB OCZ PC4000 Gold (200/400)	128
2x 1024MB Corsair TwinX2048-4400 Pro (200/400)	125.8
2x 1024MB Corsair TwinX2048-4000PT (200/400)	118.9
2x 1024MB Patriot PDC2G4000ELK (200/400)	121.7
2x 1024MB Patriot PDC2G4000ELK (276/552)	131.5

Like we saw with UT2004, Doom 3 numbers at stock speeds are slightly slower than the competition due to the looser memory timings.
