3D Performance: Quake 4
Hardware Secrets Silver Award

Quake 4 is very heavy game that uses the same engine of Doom 3. We used the id_demo001 available on version 1.3 of Quake 4 to make our benchmarking with this game. We ran this demo four times at 1024x768x32 resolution and image quality settings on “low”. The results shown on the chart is an arithmetic average of the collected data. The results are in frames per second. For more information on how to use Quake 4 to benchmark a PC, read our tutorial on this subject.

ECS G33T-M2

Here the on-board video produced by ECS G33T-M2 was 365% faster than the one produced by SiS 672FX. This is impressive. This time the “worst” video card available on the market, GeForce 6200 TurboCache with 64-bit memory interface and 64 MB, was 51% faster than the on-board video produced by Intel G33. It is important to notice that you won’t be able to play this game with the configurations we set, as the number of frames per second was too low.
 
When we installed our overclocked GeForce 8800 GTS on the reviewed board it achieved the same performance level of MSI P35 Platinum, what is great, as it means that you will achieve the same performance level of a P35-based motherboard by installing a “real” video card on this motherboard.
