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.

a FPS nut, you're going to like what you see here with the Asus EAX600XT.
Performance even with both AA and AF enabled is great!

If you're planning
to hook up a PC to your TV then the Asus eXtreme EAX600XT is definitely one of
the videocards you should consider!
The performance of the Asus EAX600XT videocard was very good overall, for its class.
It's not the fastest thing we've ever tested, but that is not its intended
purpose as a mainstream solution. The Asus eXtreme EAX600XT is also a decent
overclocker, hitting 610 MHz core speed and 420 MHz memory. Overclocking does
improve frame rates, on some occasions enough to play at a higher
resolution.
For a retail price of $215USD, we're happy to see that Asus included everything that
is needed for a user to take full advantage of this videocard; such as a nice
two-meter long component-out cable as well as the ever useful purple break-out
box. The software package was a bit on the thin side, but then again a person
looking to buy this videocard isn't likely to be basing their decision on
that.
With HDTV gaining in popularity, Asus has potentially
hit a home run here. Those people who want to hook up their PCs, certainly now
have a motivation to get onboard the home theatre PC bus, and enjoy a couple
DVD's while they're at it!
