Quake 4

We upgraded Quake 4 to version 1.4.2 and ran its new multiplayer demo id_perftest at 1280x1024x32 with SMP option enable (which allows Quake 4 to recognize and use more than one CPU), under two scenarios: first with image quality settings configured at “low” and then with image quality settings configured at “high.” You can check the results below, given in frames per second.

Core 2 Duo E8400, Core 2 Quad Q6600, Phenom X3 8750, Phenom X4 9550 

On Quake 4 with no image quality settings enabled Core 2 Duo E8400 was the fastest CPU, being 3.99% faster than Core 2 Quad Q6600, 9.35% faster than Phenom X3 8750 and 14.86% faster than Phenom X4 9550.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 was 5.15% faster than Phenom X3 8750 and 10.45% faster than Phenom X4 9550.

And Phenom X3 8750 was 5.04% faster than Phenom X4 9550.

Core 2 Duo E8400, Core 2 Quad Q6600, Phenom X3 8750, Phenom X4 9550

When we set image quality settings to “high” we saw the same scenario. This time Core 2 Duo E8400 was 3.88% faster than Core 2 Quad Q6600, 9.09% faster than Phenom X3 8750 and 13.49% faster than Phenom X4 9550.

Core 2 Quad Q6600 was 5.02% faster than Phenom X3 8750 and 9.26% faster than Phenom X4 9550.

And Phenom X3 8750 was 4.04% faster than Phenom X4 9550.
