Return to Castle WolfensteinThis game is powered with a highly optimized Quake III engine. With high detail settings and of course a heavy time-demo to get test results, we will now benchmark using 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.

Again, we can see some really nice numbers. The score is so close as basically any graphics card eats this game alive. The game is actually CPU limited. Let's observe the score with quality settings.

The 5900 XT is a hoot with such high quality settings and at a resolution of 1600x1200x32 it still manages to push out 69 frames per second. Yes, nothing to be ashamed about I'd say.
