Quake 4 Performance
The latest game based on the id franchise and built from the Doom 3 engine, Quake 4 is a more multiplayer focused OpenGL title. The game is good and good looking, but performance seems to mirror Doom 3 very closely.
Quake 4 shows us a graph that looks very similar to the Doom 3 graph here. Again performance at 2048x1526 on the 7800 GTX 512 is better than the X1800 XT at 1600x1200.
And once again, enabling AA gives a huge boost to ATI's performance relative to NVIDIA.

i've been asking them to hire an editor for a few years now, but i'm pretty sure they haven't taken my advice yet. every once in a while they post an article that is just unreadable due to the run on and compound sentences.yacoub - Monday, November 14, 2005 - link
It's worse when you have a journalism degree. It drives you up a wall to read so many grammatical and spelling errors. Even so I'd rather they put the money into doing more 'real world' style tests instead of just these Top of the Charts/ GPU with the Biggest Dick contests.phusg - Thursday, November 17, 2005 - link
It could be worse, at least they updated the article to change this comical spelling mistake. Puts them in line with the rest of the computer industry where the testing phase of the development cycle is outsourced to the consumer ;-)Methusela - Monday, November 14, 2005 - link
This thing just destroys every other single card, and every other SLI configuration in almost every test! Yikes. I guess it had better do so at $700 apiece, though.Maybe this will push the price of the 7800GT and GTX models down in a couple of weeks? Cost-conscious buyers like myself can only hope so.
