Diamond Monster Sound MX400

Unreal Tournament Performance - Pentium III 550E

Unreal Tournament supports both A3D 2.0 and EAX 2.0. We've noticed in the past that the UTBench.dem demo file that we use for benchmarking is rarely effected by anything besides CPU power. Things went a bit differently in this case.

The MX400 was tested with EAX support, which is closer to its native support.

All the cards see a virtually nonexistent performance drop with 3D sound enabled. More interestingly, the Aureal SQ2500 comes out on top by a good 10% in all resolutions.
