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.
If you like first person shooters and want to play
with AA/AF enabled, the Asus EN8800GT Top videocard will no doubt keep you
happy. Look at those framerates with everything enabled!

In FEAR, turning AA on all the way really kills
framerates. Moderate levels of AA still produce a brilliant picture with decent
framerates.
