Prey

Even though Prey may be a bit older game compared against many of the other ones we are testing, it still provides a workout of even the best graphics cards on the market. This time we have enabled its Graphics Boost feature (Gboost in the charts) and run through a custom timedemo.


The HD4870 seems to be chalking up a pretty good Greatest Hits collection for itself since its performance once again impressed in this game. Even though Prey is getting a bit long in the tooth, at higher resolutions it still seems to be pretty demanding even on the HD4870.

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 Refinery level while the framerates were recorded in-game.


It seems like ATI cards love this game and are really able to shine. If you are a fan of ET: QW, this seems to be the card you should be looking at.
