Videocard Benchmarks: Quake 4

ID Software Quake 4 1.3

Source: id Software

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 video cards 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 is an oldie but a goodie, but it's time to retire it. The Palit HD4870X2 videocard runs the game well, but doesn't appreciably flex its muscle in this title. FEAR is next.
