Enemy Territory: Quake Wars







Enemy Territory : Quake Wars appears somewhat limited by available memory bandwidth. The PowerColor Radeon HD 4850 matches the GeForce 9800 GTX and GeForce 9800 GTX+ in the tests, with the latter seeing little additional performance over the regular 9800GTX.

The massive bandwidth afforded to the HD 4870 by its GDDR5 gives it a clear advantage across all resolutions.
