Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast. Average frames per second, longer bars are better. What more can I say about this game other than "WOW"! It's one of the most visually pleasing games I have ever played, the first time I saw it at MacWorld NY in July I knew it would be a killer on graphics cards & system performance. First impressions were right, it's by far the most demanding game I have ever played on my system - and it's worth upgrading to play. Check out this great review of Jedi Knight II from Apple - with screenshots! 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.
