NVIDIA claims to work closely with game developers to ensure its drivers offer the best possible performance, and that's evident once again in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
Despite superior on-paper credentials, the Radeon HD 4850 X2 isn't able to clearly dominate until we reach ultra-high resolutions - at 2,560x1,600, its dual-GPU scaling shows its worth.
Note, too, that at 1,920x1,200, all four cards offer perfectly-acceptable performance of above 60fps. If you're not planning on gaming on a 30in high-res screen, the cheapest of the four may suffice.
