Benchmarks: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars

At just 1440x900 it is clear that Enemy Territory does not stress these high-end graphics cards all that much. The Radeon HD 4870 X2 only matched the performance of the Radeon HD 4850 Crossfire cards, though it was still 15% faster than the GeForce GTX 280.

When increasing the resolution to 1680x1050 the Radeon HD 4870 X2 hit the lead, rendering an average of 142fps, which makes it 38% faster than the GeForce GTX 280.

At 1920x1200 the Radeon HD 4870 X2 was 57% faster than the GeForce GTX 280, as it averaged an impressive 137fps.
