Quake III Arena tests OpenGL performance through the scientific use of a rail gun and gibbed body bits. It uses advanced features such as curved surfaces and high-polygon models to bring your video card to its knees.

Normal mode uses 16-bit color, small textures, and relatively low complexity scenes.

In normal mode, the GLADIAC GeForce2 GTS tends to fall slightly behind the Leadtek in the scores, but only by an insignificant margin. Performance drops off significantly at 1280x1024, but maintains plenty of strength all the way though to 1600x1200.
