Below are the system specifications that will be used for testing.

CPU: Intel E8400 @ 3.6GHz w/ Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
MB: Biostar TPower I45
RAM: G.Skill PI Black PC6400
PSU: Ultra X3 1000W
HD: WD 250GB SATA
DVD-Rom: Lite-On 18x DVD Burner – SATA
OS: Microsoft Windows 7
Ambient Temperature: 22-24C

GPUs:
HIS HD5670 IceQ 512MB (latest Catalyst beta)
XFX HD4890 1GB (Catalyst 9.11)
Biostar 9600GT 512MB (GeForce Release 196.21)
Sapphire Radeon HD4550 512MB (Catalyst 9.11)

All benchmarks were run a minimum of three times with scores being the average of those three runs. While a Nvidia GT240 would have been a more direct comparison, due to timing I had to use the Biostar 9600GT 512MB that I had on hand which typically performs around the same level as a GT240. Also while not a fair comparison I threw in numbers for the XFX HD4890 1GB and Sapphire Radeon HD4550 512MB to show the performance difference between the top and bottom of AMD’s HD 4xxx series. Well that’s enough with the introductions, let’s run some benchmarks.
