Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

     

 

 



There's more of the same in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, this time patch-updated and a new, more-intensive demo recorded by HEXUS.labs.

Note, again, how scaling the resolution ladder does little to hurt the R700's performance. That being said, the sub-£200 single-GPU HD 4870 and GeForce GTX 260 are hardly slow at 1,920x1,200 4xAA 16xAF, returning smooth, playable framerates

Radeon HD 4870 X2, it seems, is for those with 30in monitors who want to game at the screens' native resolution of 2,560x1,600px.
