NVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR

Once again there is very little difference between the DDR GeForce and the Rage Fury MAXX, making a recommendation for the more expensive DDR GeForce very difficult unless you play games other than UT (i.e. Quake III Arena, in which case the DDR GeForce would give you the better overall experience).

The Voodoo3 is once again performing quite respectably as a result of its native Glide support.

The Savage 2000 holds up the rear as it is begging S3 for updated drivers. Not only is its performance under UT below par, the Savage 2000 can't take advantage of Epic/GT's second CD of S3TC compressed textures which would normally be where the S3 cards shine. S3 dropped support for their MeTaL API with the Savage 2000 and unfortunately the only way to take advantage of S3TC is apparently through the MeTaL API as there are some texture management issues that Epic ran into while attempting to use DXTC which is a part of DirectX. The only cards with support for the MeTaL API are the Savage 3D and Savage 4, so to make a long story short, the Savage 2000 is not the card for those that are hooked on Unreal Tournament (Note from the Gamer within Anand: and if you've ever played Assult on UT then you're probably already hooked although you can't beat DM on Q3A).
