3DMark06 results are decent and the Asus
Maximus Extreme sits in the middle of the pack.
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.

Quake 4 results are very good, with Ultra
Quality settings and at 1027x768 the Maximus Extreme comes in top spot.

FEAR is Sierra's latest first person
shooter which relies heavily on DirectX 9 features. With its "Soft Shadows"
feature enabled, even the fastest videocards run at a crawl, FEAR is definitely
the new benchmark for future FPS games to follow.
