It's also the fastest of all in Enemy Territory, where fillrate is king. The 1,280x1,024 results look to be a little too high on this card and the HD 4830, but we re-ran the numbers and got the same results.

Putting both the GeForce 9600 GT and 9800 GT to the benchmark sword, performance in Far Cry 2 is Radeon HD 4850-like. Not bad for a ~£85 card.
