| Quake 4 |
We upgraded Quake 4 to version 1.4.2 and ran its new multiplayer demo id_perftest at 1600x1200x32 under two scenarios: first with image quality settings configured at “low” and then with image quality settings configured at “high”, both of them with SMP mode turned on thru the command r_useSMP 1. You can check the results below, given in frames per second.

On Quake 4 with image quality set at “low” all Core 2 CPUs achieved the same performance level, indicating that the video card is the one limiting the system performance.

When we set image quality to “high” the same thing happened. |
