Unreal Tournament 2003 (DM-Antalus)

We used the same build of Unreal Tournament 2003 as we used in our recent GPU shootout, be sure to read that story for more information on the demo and the levels we benchmarked. As a quick refresher, DM-Antalus is a mostly outdoor level that makes decent use of quadtexturing.

At 1024x768 we see that the Radeon 9000 Pro is barely faster thant he GeForce4 MX 460 and significantly slower than both the Radeon 8500 and 8500LE, not to mention that it can't touch the Ti 4200.

The Radeon 9000 Pro doesn't really improve as resolution increases, it continues to outperform the GeForce4 MX 460 but it can't hold a candle to the cards that it's replacing.

Finally at 1600x1200 the frame rates are honestly too low to be playable and enjoyable, but we see the same trends from before.

    The voodoo fell behind in performance at launch due to its lack of hardware t&l and immature drivers, it was only giving somewhere between geforce ddr and geforce gts performance at launch, and unless you liked glide games, or unreal tournament then the v5 never really outperformed geforce. krogerfeedback.com
