Less than top notch performance in the 3D gaming arena is what caused many gaming enthusiasts to shy away from ATi. Though ATi had the potential for becoming the 3D market leader, delays plagued the path of the Rage 128 chip on the way to market shelves. And in this industry, time is as valuable as money. So rather than being recognized as a leader in the graphics industry, OEM sales for low priced PC's and laptop's were their bread and butter.

Unreal Tournament
For a look at
Direct3D scores, Unreal Tournament was used along with our "bloodlust.dem"
demoplay. The scores below are indicative of heavy play under a networked
environment. Let's see which card is best able to sustain this amount of
graphical load...
Though this is
a very CPU dependent benchmark, we see an extremely smaller performance gap
between the Rage Fury MAXX and the Asus V6800 Deluxe.
To sum up these
scores, the Rage Fury MAXX shows its stuff at a 32-bit colour depth and running
at high resolutions. Under these conditions, the MAXX can give a DDR-Geforce
card a run for its money and will certainly outperform many SDR based Geforce
cards on the market. For those hardcore gamers with hardware to back it up, the
Rage Fury MAXX certainly gives us a good showing...
