*Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Frames per second. Longer bars are better* Return to Castle Wolfenstein is an extremely well done first person shooter that brings back memories, all the way to the early years of the 80's when I played Castle Wolfenstein on an Apple II. We'll, it's come a long way, and it is one of the more fun games in recent times. All tests were performed using the default "high quality" settings, no config file trickery or any unusual enhancements were performed generating these scores. Standard TimeDemo routines used.
