The new midrange: 10 good cards for around $200 - PAGE 12
Kevin Spiess - Thursday, March 20th, 2008


At the heart of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars lies an aging engine (dervied from the one that powered Doom 3), so for this benchmark, we offset this by cranking the image quality and running at high resolutions.

The Palit 9600 GT Sonic puts in another impressive performance, climbing to the top of the chart.

It's interesting to see the performance metrics here: while the 8800 GT's reach very high lower-resolution framerates compared to the ATI cards, at maximum quality (1920x1200, 8xAA) it is the ATI cards that lead. Consequently, the advantage would have to go the ATI cards in this benchmark, as they can offer playable framerates at the higher resolutions, whereas at the same settings, the 8800 GT's might offer a choppy ride.
