Benchmarks: X2: The Threat, UT2003

X2: The Threat Source: Egosoft

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.

Unreal Tournament 2003

Source: Epic

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.

The GV-RX60X128V is almost able to keep up with the higher end videocards. If you're into UT2003, you'll like what you see in the PCI-Express GV-RX60X128V videocard.

1600x1200 is starting to push the limits of the GV-RX60X128V - overclocking helps bust out some decent FPS at this resolution. Nvidia's mainstream PCI-E solution falls back to just 43FPS.
