VisionTek Radeon HD 3870 Review - PAGE 9
Kevin Spiess - Tuesday, February 12th, 2008


If you regularly read our video card reviews here at Neoseeker, please not that we have upped the resolutions in this test. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars is now our official high-resolution test, as we start at 1280x1024, go to 1600x1200, and end at 1920x1200.

In this benchmark, while the VisionTek HD 3870 fairs very well against the NVIDIA 8800 GT, I'm surprised that it does not perform better in comparison to the zippy factory-overclocked XFX 8800 GT 256MB. At 1920x1200 with AA turned on, I would've thought that the extra 256 MB of GDDR4 would have made more an impact on performance. But this appeared not to be the case.
