Benchmarks: UT2004, Doom 3

Unreal Tournament 2004

Source: Epic

Unreal Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard to you plan to play competitively.

Athlon64 3700+ 3.22 GHz (293/500) Prometeia 240.3

UT2004 loves high clock speeds as well as L2 cache, that much is clear!

Doom 3

Source: id Software

Doom 3 is the most advanced OpenGL game to date, it takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute limits. At its highest setting Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrows videocards will have a hard time running everything. The framerates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

Doom 3
LQ 640x480: Points Ranking
Athlon64 3500+ 2.2 GHz (200/400) 113.1
Athlon64 3500+ 3.05 GHz (277/498) 144.9
Athlon64 3700+ 2.2 GHz (200/400) Stock 124.3
Athlon64 3700+ 2.81 GHz (255/510) Air Cooled 155.2
Athlon64 3700+ 3.22 GHz (293/500) Prometeia 170.2

The benefits of L2 cache are clear here. The air cooled Athlon64 3700+ is able to beat the Prometeia cooled Athlon64 3500+. Nothing can catch the Athlon64 3700+ when it's clocked at 3.22GHz.
