Out of the sub-£130 cards, the GeForce 9800 GTX+ offers the highest performance in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, which seems to run a bit better on NVIDIA cards.

The Inno3D GeForce 9800 GT iChiLL matches the performance of the more-expensive Radeon HD 4850 at lower resolutions, but doesn't scale quite as well as the hurt is increased.

Again, though, the iChiLL-branded 9800 GT receives a decent boost over the reference design, helped by Enemy Territory's love of memory bandwidth, we reckon.
