Powered with a highly optimized Quake III engine, high detail settings and of course a heavy time-demo to get test results will will now use this software.

Powered by the Quake III Arena engine, the Wolfenstein universe explodes with the kind of epic environments, A.I., firepower and cinematic effects that only a game created by true masters can deliver. The dark reich's closing in. The time to act is now. Evil prevails when good men do nothing.

a highly decorated Army Ranger recruited into the Office of Secret Actions (OSA) tasked with escaping and then returning to Castle Wolfenstein in an attempt to thwart Heinrich Himmler's occult and genetic experiments. Himmler believes himself to be a reincarnation of a 10th century dark prince, Henry the Fowler, also known as Heinrich. Through genetic engineering and the harnessing of occult powers, Himmler hopes to raise an unstoppable army to level the Allies once and for all.

That being said, RTCW boasts very nice textures, impressive effects and fantastic character models. At this point not many videocards have been included in this specific comparison, there will be when time passes of course.

RTCW 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
GeForce FX 5200 82 71 48 34
GeForce FX 5600 128  84 81 62 44
GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 256 84 82 66 48
GeForce FX 5900 128 85 84 76 58
GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 85 85 80 64
380/730 86 84 70 52

Very few results, we are going to re-do the entire set of benchmarks with other cards soon also we have changed quality settings. BTW monitor the differences between an FX 5600 128 and 256 MB model. you'll notice that performance difference in almost all benchmarks.

Let's take a look with 4x anti aliasing and 8x anisotropic filtering enabled.

RTCW 4xAA 8xAF 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
GeForce FX 5200 58 39 25 17
GeForce FX 5600 128  78 62 41 28
GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 256 82 73 49 33
GeForce FX 5900 128 83 79 62 45
GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 84 83 75 58

Both cards do very well in this test and handle quality settings very well. The game is getting old though.
