Benchmarks: UT2003

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.

Odd, I notice that all the GeForceFX 5900/5900 Ultra cards that I have played with do relatively poor in UT2003 at 1024x768...

However at 1600x1200 things are completely different. Here the GeForceFX 5900 Ultra stomps everything else.
