NVIDIA's Fall Product Line: GeForce3 Titanium

UnrealTournament

Although at this point it's a better CPU benchmark than a video card benchmark, UnrealTournament as usual is a part of our standard test suite. We tested using the publicly available "Thunder" demo by Reverend.

Unfortunately the 5.13.3249 drivers seemed to have problems with UT as the scores are unusually low. We'll provide updated benchmarks in our upcoming 8500 review.

At 1024 x 768 x 32 there's little separating any of the top performers, they are all basically the same.

It's only when you crank the resolution up to 1600 x 1200 that you can begin to see differences in performance between the various cards. This turns the benchmark into more of a memory bandwidth test. You can see that the Radeon 7500 does much better than its predecessor here in spite of the apparent driver problems with this benchmark.
