ID Software Quake 4 1.3 - AA/AF Tests

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.

The Diamond HD 3650 PE 512 consistently comes near the bottom of our Quake IV benchmark. It's at times slightly more powerful than an nVidia 8500GT, but can't quite surpass the 2600XT.
