10. Doom 3
We use the Doom 3 default time demo, "demo1," for each of our tests. First, the graphics card driver is set to "application controlled." Then in the game we disable FSAA while in the high-quality setting 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 tax the GPU.
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 is a game that offloads some of the work to the CPU. This is a good test for the latest graphics as well as overall system performance. Not to mention that HL2 offers some serious "eye candy" for the gamer.
