11. Doom 3 (Doom Engine)

Complex lighting in Doom 3 can bring graphics cards to their knees. The Doom 3 default timed demo is run first, with the graphics card driver set to "application controlled." Then we disable Full Screen Antialiasing (FSAA) and the high-quality setting in the game for the first run. When set at high quality, anisotropic filtering is automatically enabled and set to eight-sample mode. For the second run, we turn FSAA to 4X to really work the GPU.
