Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Another game based Quake III Arena engine, RtCW proves to be a much more stressful implementation of the engine. We tested with the game's High Quality defaults. It should be noted that with the texture detail set to high (part of the High Quality defaults), performance on cards with only 64MB of RAM become much more erratic than those with 128MB. There was a considerable amount of swapping which was noticed during the tests.

167.2The performance standings here are identical to those under Quake III Arena and rightfully so as the two games are based on the same engine and are relatively similar in the types of stress they put on the graphics cards. It's clear that RtCW is much more of a stressful game however and is noticeably more demanding on the video card, you won't see any 250 fps+ scores here; not yet at least.

These last two sets of results are pretty straightforward. Once again we see that the GeForce4 MX does relatively well here compared to some of the newer games we started off testing with.
