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 MSI P35 Neo Combo achieved the same performance level as Intel D975XBX2 (Intel 975X), ECS PN2 SLI2+ (nForce 680i), ECS NF650iSLIT-A (nForce 650i) and ASUS P5N-E SLI (nForce 650i). MSI P35 Platinum was 5.33% faster, ASUS P5B (Intel P965) was 5.54% faster and ASUS P5B Premium (Intel P965) was 5.71% faster. We are comparing here the results with all memories running at 800 MHz.
