Quake 4
In order to make sure we pushed the video cards as hard as possible, we enabled Quake 4's multiprocessor support before testing.

Quake 4 is kind of rough territory for the Radeon X1950 Pro. Its additional memory bandwidth doesn't help it outperform its predecessor, the Radeon X1900 GT, and the GeForce 7900 GS is well ahead of both of them. The X1950 Pro does scale up fairly well to two cards in CrossFire, though, for what it's worth.

Notice something else here, too. The Radeon X1900 XT 256MB performs quite a bit better than the X1950 Pro, and it's selling for only 60 bucks or so more than the X1950 Pro's list price at some vendors. You may want to keep an eye on how the X1900 XT 256MB compares to the X1950 Pro in the following pages.
