Sapphire HD3870 512MB TOXIC Edition Review

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

Enemy Territory: Quake wars is the latest iteration of the wildly popular Quake franchise from ID Software. While it was met with luke-warm reviews by both the media and the gaming community, it remains an extremely popular online game.

In this test we set up a 15 minute timedemo on the Canyon level while the framerates were recorded with FRAPS.

Please note that due to a known driver issue, the 8800GTS 512MB has its scores suffer when playing at high resolutions.



We were actually pleasantly surprised with the way Sapphire’s overclocked card performed in this game with the ability to play all the way up to maximum resolution with AND without AA turned on. Since this is an OpenGL title, it seems like ATI’s HD3870 enjoys this arena much more than the DirectX playground it usually plays in.
