ATI Radeon 9000 Pro – The GeForce4 MX Killer

Unreal Tournament 2003 (DM-Asbestos)
Our second benchmarking level in UT2003 is DM-Asbestos, which is primarily an indoor level and garners noticeably higher frame rates.

235.5
141.4Here we actually get to see the Radeon 9000 Pro outperform both the Radeon 8500 and Radeon 8500LE; not to mention that it completely tramples the GeForce4 MX 460.

The Radeon 9000 Pro manages to offer performance very close to the Matrox Parhelia but at a $129 price tag, not too shabby at all. Once again, the GeForce4 MX 460 can't even begin to keep up, and let's not forget that the Radeon 9000 Pro is fully DX8 compliant. Two points for ATI.

It looks like it won't be until we get GeForce4 performance under $200 that everyone will be able to run UT2003 at 1600x1200.

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
