Page 9 - RTCW

Return to Castle Wolfensteinimageview.php?image=102Powered with a highly optimized Quake III engine, high detail settings and of course a heavy time-demo to get test results, we 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.

You are 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 some very nice textures, impressive effects and fantastic character models. At this point not many videocards have been included in this specific comparison, but there will be as time progresses, of course.

RTCW is an older game and was heavily optimized by NVIDIA at driver level to make it more than playable. No problems here whatsoever. Let's have a look at the results when we enabled AA and AF compared to other cards on the market...
