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 likes tight timings, remember this always and you
will go far. The Corsair Twin2X2048-8500C5 runs with 5-5-5-15 CAS latency timings and this is why at
stock speeds it trails slightly (~3FPS).
Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based
on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be
tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does
not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures
can surpass the 500MB mark!

Quake 4 reacts much in the same manner as Doom 3
does. Once again we see that at stock speeds the high latency handicap dictates that the Corsair Twin2X2048-8500C5 memory trails some
of the lower latency modules. Overclocking naturally allows the Corsair memory
to outperform the rest of these reference
memory
modules.
In Battlefield 2, players will choose to fight for
one of three military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese, or the newly
formed Middle East Coalition. Armed with the latest modern weaponry, players can
take control of any of the games 30+ vehicles to engage in major conflicts with
over 64 players in some of the largest online battles on the PC. Test is run
five times, which will then be averaged with the highest and
lowest runs disregarded, settings are high quality at 1024x768.

Our last benchmark of the day shows us that overclocking
the Corsair Twin2X2048-8500C5 memory will result in a fairly
predictable performance boost; something you might want to consider if you find your system too slow.
All the memory tested here is 1GB in size at least, which
is important for Battlefield 2.
Next up we have the maximum overclocking
chart and the final word...
