Doom 3

Doom 3 may be an old benchmark, but I still really like it.

We keep seeing the same result - DDR3-1333 is just a bit slower than very low latency DDR2-1066; and that DDR3 starts to take off at over 1500MHz. The less we say about the performance of DDR3 at under 1333MHz the better, and I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone get DDR3 memory at lower speeds than 1333MHz

Quake 4

Quake 4 is a bit more latency bound than Doom 3, but as we've observed, DDR3-1333 performs well.
