Benchmarks: X2: The Threat, UT2003
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.
X2: The
Threat is another game that heavily favors the nVIDIA cards, here we see at
stock speeds the Albatron FX5900XTV is faster than an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro
videocard!
At
the higher resolutions we see the same thing, the performance of the mainstream
Albatron FX5900XTV is very good!

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.
UT2003
does not seem to be bias towards any one platform and here all the high end
cards perform about the same.
At the
higher resolution again the high end cards all perform about the same. The
Albatron FX5900XTV scores where we'd expect it to.
