Benchmarks - Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
This game is powered with a highly optimized Quake III engine. We test the graphics card with high detail settings and of course a heavy duty time-demo.
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.

What happens here is that the GPU (Graphics processor) is awaiting data/calculations from the processor. The processor is not fast enough thus the graphics core can deliver any faster. Things will toughen a bit up when we make it more difficult for the graphics card, so we again enable a plethora of image quality settings:

Nope, that won't do it. This game is eaten alive by all high-end graphics cards and that makes sense as it is aging. It's still a fantastic game though.
