Notes

We've recently decided to add Castle Wolfenstein to the list of benchmarks we use. While it doesn't scale quite as well with hardware as Quake 3, it gives you an indication of how the latest generation of Quake3-based games perform with the latest hardware. We use our own custom demo for testing, which combines combat inside the base as well as outside.
