3D Performance: Quake 4
Contents
We upgraded Quake 4 to version 1.3 and ran its multiplayer demo id_demo001 at 1024x768x32 with image quality settings configured at “low” four times. The first result was always discarded, and from the other three values, we discarded the highest and the lowest score, i.e., we used the middle value for our comparison. You can see the results below.
On Quake 4 with our memories set at 800 MHz MSI P35 Platinum achieved the same performance level as ASUS P5B (Intel P965), ASUS P5B Premium (Intel P965) and Intel D975XBX2 (Intel 975X). It was 3.40% faster than ECS PN2 SLI2+ (nForce 680i), 5.24% faster than ECS NF650iSLIT-A (nForce 650i), 5.33% faster than MSI P35 Neo Combo (Intel P35) and 6.38% faster than ASUS P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i). We are comparing here the results with all memories running at 800 MHz.
When we set our memories at 1,066 MHz MSI P35 Platinum achieved the same performance level as ASUS P5B (Intel P965) and ASUS P5B Premium (Intel P965), being 5.78% faster than ECS PN2 SLI2+ (nForce 680i).
