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, although the outdoor scenes are smaller in size.

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

In Quake 4 OCZ's 8800GTX has no problem keeping a solid 60fps frame rate. As the game engine allows us maximum up to 60fps, there is no point in overclocking your card here if you choose to use our game settings. The 7900GTX offers decent frame rate, but overall you will notice a smoother gameplay with the G80.
