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.

X2: The Threat seems to run smoother with nVIDIA cards than ATi's products. Here we can see that the stock AOpen GeForceFX 5900XT performs at par with the ATi Radeon 9800 Pro.

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.

At 1024x768 every card produces playable frame rates. The difference in the bot match is basically zero.

Pump up the resolution to 1600x1200, and things change a little. At the max resolution, we still get acceptable framerates from the Aopen card. Overclocking pushes the FX5900XT videocard past that of the MSI GeForceFX 5900 Ultra.
