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 framerates are nice and strong with the Geforce
7800GTX. With the onboard Geforce 6100 video you won't be able to play the game
very well, but at least you can get a taste of what's to come if you
upgrade.
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! Each test
is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

The Biostar iDEQ 250N does very well in our last test of

powerhouse.
