Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
We tested this game with 4X antialiasing and 16X anisotropic filtering enabled, along with "high" settings for all of the game's quality options except "Shader level" which was set to "Ultra." We left the diffuse, bump, and specular texture quality settings at their default levels, though. Shadow and smooth foliage were enabled, but soft particles were disabled. Again, we used a custom timedemo recorded for use in this review.

At last, the GTX 280 pulls ahead of the 9800 GX2 by a hair at the highest resolution. However, the GTX 260 has some trouble fending off the Radeon HD 3870 X2, which runs neck and neck with it.

By the way, the drop-off for the 9800 GTX at 2560x1600 is in earnest. I tested and re-tested it. I suspect the card may be running out of memory, although if that's the case, I'm not sure why the GX2 isn't affected, as well.
