Quake 4

ID Software; Quake 4 v1.41 beta

ID Software’s QUAKE 4, developed by Raven Software, takes players into an epic invasion on a barbaric alien planet in one of the most anticipated first person shooters for 2005. Even today in 2006 Quake 4 is played by professional gamers around the world in the famed World Series of Video Games (WSVG) and still one of the most played first person shooters on the market today.

Quake 4 runs on an updated version of the DOOM 3 graphics engine, so performance is expected to be on par with that of DOOM 3. We ran Quake 4 with the version 1.4.1 beta patch, which adds dual-core processor support and a ton of other features that have been added over the years. At 1920×1200 with 4xAA/8xAF and the graphics set to ultra quality Intel’s latest and greatest processor takes the lead by 1FPS.
