Doom 3 and Far Cry are very heavy 3D games, using last generation image quality resources, which makes them excellent ways to test the 3D performance of your machine. Since the performance decrease when we increase the image quality, it is important that you use the same image quality resolution and configuration when comparing the performance of your machine against the performance of others.
The first step is to configure the resolution and the image quality you want to test and restart the game.
Doom 3 has four levels of image quality: low, medium, high, and ultra. We recommend that you carry out tests at a 1024 x 768 resolution, with the low quality and then a new round of tests at high quality. If you have a 17" monitor or bigger, maybe it is also worth measuring the performance at 1280 x 1024 and at 1600 x 1200.
