Benchmarks: Quake 4, Battlefield 2

Quake 4

Source: id Software

Quake 4 is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3, with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass the 500MB mark!

2x 512MB Patriot PEP5125600ELK PC5600 (200/400) 136
2x 512MB Centon GEMiNi PC3200 (200/400) 135.7

2x 1024MB Patriot PDC2G4000ELK (276/552) 142.4

Things are very close in Quake 4 between all modules. The Patriot PDC2G4000ELK performs quite well. Overclocking boosts the overall framerate nicely even though the processor is clocked at a similar speed.

Battlefield 2

In the last benchmark of the day, it's obvious that there is a difference between 1GB and 2GB of installed system memory. The Patriot Memory PDC2G4000ELK modules perform very well in Battlefield 2, this game really does require at lest 2GB installed RAM.
