HIS Radeon X1950XT IceQ3 Turbo

Quake 4 was recorded within the MCC Landing Area.  Quake 4 has an in game frame limit of 60fps.  You can see this in the graph so what we are looking for is frames rates remaining as close as possible to this cap. 
 

Minimum Radeon X1950XT = 32 / Minimum Radeon X1950 Pro = 29
Maximum Radeon X1950XT = 64 /
Maximum Radeon X1950 Pro = 63
Average Radeon X1950XT = 55 / Average
Radeon X1950 Pro = 51

The numbers and graph show some favoritism toward the X1950XT but in gameplay both cards played ultra smooth.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted rounds things out.  Testing was taken from the NFS World Loop map.  Screen resolution was set to 1600 x 1200 with all other settings (except V-Synch and FSAA) set to max. 
 

Minimum Radeon X1950XT = 31 / Minimum Radeon X1950 Pro = 29
Maximum Radeon X1950XT = 63 /
Maximum Radeon X1950 Pro = 52
Average Radeon X1950XT = 48 / Average
Radeon X1950 Pro = 41

The differences here were so decidedly away from the trend already seen we must have benched and rebenched NFS at least ten times.  As you can see, NFS loves the X1950XT IceQ3 Turbo.
