Deep Thought?
(Review by MS, May 6, 2002)
Quake3 Arena Demo_four

Everybody loved it years ago, everybody hates it by now but Quake3 Arena is still the mother of all gaming benchmarks


Normal setting: 640 x 480 x 16bpp

2.4 = 2.4 GHz, 2.53 = 2.53 GHz; -100, -133: FSB; /SPD: DDR333 at SPD settings; /800 PC800 RDRAM; /1066: PC1066 RDRAM; /146: The 2.53 GHz P4 was overclocked to 146 MHz FSB / 183 MHz DRAM frequency (2775 MHz) on the ASUS P4S333. Bus speed is once again the limiting factor, only at 133/533 MHz is the PC1066 RDRAM capable of dealing the trump cards. However, in that particular combination, even the 2.4B blows away the 2.53 GHz processor using the slow PC800 RDRAM (or DDR).

Fastest Setting: 512 x 384 x 16 bpp

For once, we don't care about image quality, the sequence is too fast to see anything but a blur anyway so nothing really matters but the final scores and those are quite extravagant.

Same as above but at the fastest setting. And yes, those scores are almost 450 fps (sound was disabled, though).
