Gainward GeForce4 Ti 4200: The First Retail 4200

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Another game based Quake III Arena engine, RtCW proves to be a much more stressful implementation of the engine. We tested with the game's High Quality defaults. It should be noted that with the texture detail set to high (part of the High Quality defaults), performance on cards with only 64MB of RAM become much more erratic than those with 128MB. There was a considerable amount of swapping which was noticed during the tests.

The standings are virtually identical to what we saw under Quake III Arena which makes a lot of sense since the performance characteristics between the two games are very similar.
