Quake 4
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

We upgraded Quake 4 to version 1.4.2 and ran its multiplayer demo id_perftest with SMP option enabled (which allows Quake 4 to recognize and use more than one CPU), under 1024x768 with image quality settings configured at “low.” You can check the results below, given in frames per second.

ECS A790GXM-A Black Series
 

On Quake 4 AMD 790GX was 28.75% faster than AMD780G and 284.96% faster than GeForce 8200. Our low-end Radeon HD 3450 was 69.53% faster than the on-board video produced by AMD 790GX.

Enabling Hybrid CrossFire technology performance increased only 5.32% compared to the Radeon HD 3450 alone with the on-board video disabled.
