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 and with the third run being recorded.

Doom 3 results are nice and quick, it's just a shame there are no DirectX 10 games out yet to test the Asus EN8800GTS/HTDP/320M with. Stock and overclock framerates are where you'd expect them for an nVidia G80 card. Overclocking boosts the overall framerate slightly here, but not really enough to be worth the bother in my opinion. Either way, you're going to be pleased with the performance of Asus' EN8800GTS videocard.

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.

The framerates in Quake 4 are almost hitting 200FPS at UQ 1600x1200.... wow. That was almost unthinkable a few years ago. The results here are even better than in Doom 3, no matter how you cut it the GeForce 8800GTS 320MB is one powerful GPU!
