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

Doom 3 frame rates are at where they're
expected, Gigabyte's GA-M59SLI-S5 has no problems keeping up with the
competition here in both non-SLI and SLI configurations. Obviously, SLI has no
impact on this game, but still the option is available for other software
applications and game titles.
>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! Each
test is run three times and with the third run being recorded.

In the final test of the day, the Gigabyte
GA-M59SLI-S5 is able to play Quake 4 with some pretty high frame rates. There's
no doubt the Gigabyte board is fast here!
