Unreal Tournament 2004 Performance
Without AA and AF, the NVIDIA cards put in a very good showing, but the tables are turned once again when 4xAA and 8xAF are lit up. This benchmark doesn't show the ATI cards leading as much as it does in other benchmarks, but the numbers definitely show ATI leading if AA/AF are to be enabled.

Definitely interesting to see the 6800NU's performance numbers... I almost want to say that the 6800 will be the DX9-generation's Ti4200. Not that that'll stop me from getting a 6800GT or a 6800U to replace my 4200, mind you. :pAnyway, I like the inclusion of the "value" graphs as part of the benchmark results, it makes it easier to see what card gives you the best bang (in the case of these latest cards, a boom?) for your buck. And as always, AT puts out the quality benchmarks that I recommend so highly to everyone.

I think the best "value" card out right now is the 6800 GT.sparkz - Friday, July 9, 2004 - link
What kind of monitors were used and also what type of connection was used for testing at 16x12? (DVI or VGA)ViRGE - Friday, July 9, 2004 - link
SilentRunning, they aren't using the MSRP, they're using the actual market price.Neekotin - Friday, July 9, 2004 - link

[q]ATI Radeon 9700 Pro: $180ATI Radeon 9800 XT: $400
ATI Radeon X800 Pro: $420
ATI Radeon X800 XT: $540

Obviously you need to re-evaluate how you obtain prices. Since ATI's SRP (suggested retail prices) are lower. Those prices are from dealers who are price gouging due to demand.
ATI Radeon X800 Pro: $399 SRP
ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition: $499 SRP
