Palit Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB Video Card Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig | August 11, 2008

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.

ET: Quake Wars sees much the same as with 3DMark06 where increased AA settings contribute to bring down the framerates for some reason. Even at the highest resolution it seems like the HD4870X2 looses out by a small margin to the Crossfired HD4870 cards.
