Once again GeCube's X1300 brings up the rear, although the performance gap between the X1300 Pro and 7300 GS is smaller; it's a shame we're not concerned with that in this review, really. All cards give seemingly playable average framerates.

Up the resolution and it all gets a bit too choppy on the X1300. The other cards should just about handle it, however.

Far Cry must be feeling cool right now, because it appears to be a trend setter; our Quake 4 performance figures reflecting those of the previous page.

Turning off the AA gives similar performance at 1600x1200 as at 1280x1024 with 4xAA, except for the GeForce 7600 GS, which jumps ahead. Again at the bottom of the pile it's a close tussle between Sapphire and GeCube, with GeCube losing out... just.
