Quake III Arena

A golden oldie, Quake III Arena is slowly being phased out by more up-to-date gaming benchmarks but it still paints an interesting picture.

It seems as if Quake III engine games do much better with the GeForce4 MX than they do with the Radeon 9000 as we can see by the above results.

    The voodoo fell behind in performance at launch due to its lack of hardware t&l and immature drivers, it was only giving somewhere between geforce ddr and geforce gts performance at launch, and unless you liked glide games, or unreal tournament then the v5 never really outperformed geforce. krogerfeedback.com
