Quake 4
Official website

Quake 4 was released in 2006, based on the popular Doom 3 engine from ID Software. Unlike Quake 3 this game also has a fully fledged single player story which continues the events from Quake 2.

In Quake 4 you, Matthew Kane, find yourself in a war with some kind of aliens called "Strogg". As a member of the Elite Rhino Squad u get dropped at the heart of the Strogg war machine. The scene we went true is at the beginning of Quake 4, when you walk outside for the first time, the ?you are but a soldier in a war? approach also seen in the first Call of Duty is present here also, although the outdoor scenes are smaller in size du The scene feels like Call of Duty.

The Air Defense Trenches level sure was a good place to benchmark Quake 4 as you get to see some indoor and outdoor scenes.


At 1024x768 2xAA/4xAF the average frame rate is high



Cranking up AA/AF brings down performance, with some noticeable dips in FPS with the X1800GTO, the average frame rate is still acceptable though.


Balancing AA/AF with resolution shows us that performance at 1280x1024 2xAA/4xAF is identical to 4xAA/8xAF at 1024x768



With FPS dips below 20 and average not much more than 30 the gameplay starts to suffer, this setting is not meant for mid-range VGA cards.
