A
completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects
such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you
can hide in them), many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects.
Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a
previously unseen level of detail.
In X2:
The Threat, the Albatron GeForceFX 5700P Turbo is again faster than its main
competition, the Radeon 9600XT.
1600x1200
is a bit too much for this mainstream card to handle, but it still manages over
50 FPS. The ATI Radeon 9600XT can't even manage that, and slips down to about 42
FPS.

Unreal
Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's multiple 'Game of the Year' award
winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology - where graphics, sound
and game play are taken beyond the bleeding edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs
the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a
DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of the game.
Performance of the Albatron GeForceFX 5700P Turbo is very
good at stock speeds. Overclocking boosts framerate a bit more, but it's not
really necessary.
At
1600x1200 you'll probably want to overclock the FX5700P Turbo card to get good
playable framerates. There is about 4 FPS difference between the FX5700 and
Radeon 9600XT here.
