COMMENT - "Quake Wars is an odd result with the XFX GeForce 8800 GT clearly beating the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 by 20%. However things quickly turn into a draw between the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 with no clear winner."

FINAL RESULT

COMMENT - "The XFX GeForce 8800 GT is a powerful video card delivering excellent performance and was easily a match for the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870. The XFX GeForce 8800 GT easily beat the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 with 3dmark Vantage, Battlefield 2142 and Call of Duty 4. 3dmark Vantage was the biggest victory for the XFX GeForce 8800 GT and it was 46% faster than the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870. The reason for this is that the XFX GeForce 8800 GT has Physx support while the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 doesn't. It isn't yet known how important Physx will become in the future but if 3dmark Vantage is a good indicator then it shows how much better the XFX GeForce 8800 GT will be compared to the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 (IE 46% BETTER!)."
