We now come to the zombie-horror-survival game, Left 4 Dead, which uses the rather aged Source engine. As such, the Sapphire HD 4870 Toxic Edition had no problems and even at the highest and most demanding settings, it recorded a healthy 63.53fps. Again, there was hardly any difference between it and the HIS HD 4870 IceQ 4+ Turbo, but against a reference Radeon HD 4870, it was found to be on average about 8% faster.

Based on our experience, Unreal Tournament 3 is a game that fares better with the NVIDIA cards, but the Sapphire HD 4870 Toxic Edition managed to outperform its NVIDIA rival quite comfortably. It was also significantly faster than a reference Radeon HD 4870.
