Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

To ensure that we get extensive graphics cards performance report in Quake Wars we disabled the built-in average fps limiter in the game console. Since we use game’s built-in benchmarking options, there is no information about the minimal performance readings.

And as for Quake Wars, two inexpensive ATI graphics cards feel quite at home here, especially in 2560x1600 resolution, where Radeon HD 4770 CrossFireX is not just the fastest solution, but also has a significant advantage. It prevents instantaneous performance from ever dropping below 30 fps.

Far Cry 2

Two Radeon HD 4770 cards paired as a CrossFireX configuration perform pretty well, following closely behind Radeon HD 4850 X2 and ensuring acceptable results in up to 1920x1200 inclusive. The drop we observe in 2560x1600 must be connected with the specifics of CrossFireX operation. Insufficient video memory may not be the reason here, because Radeon HD 4850 X2 equipped with 1GB of video memory also shows very low results in this resolution. So, those of you who already have a monitor supporting high resolutions like that should probably go for a single GeForce GTX 275.
