Result Observations
 

Yet again the Water Dragon 940 storms the gaming benchmarks thanks to power of the HD 4870 graphics card coupled with the AMD X4 @ 3.6GHz. Racedriver GRID shows an absolutely huge advantage over the Spartan. beating it by over 30FPS at both resolutions, while Far Cry 2 and Unreal Tournament 3 also show a decent increase; but nothing exactly to shout about.
