Unreal Tournament 2003


Unreal Tournament 2003. UT2003 comes with a built in benchmarking tool that allows you to run a series of timedemos and records the score for you. The benchmark was run with a few modifications.

MaxDetail.ini file
MinDesiredFrameRate = 0
UseTripleBuffering = True
UseCompressedLightmaps = False

A small batch file was created to run the desired demos at the pre-determined resolutions. Email us if you would like a copy of this benchmarking script.
Same benchmark with AA/AF set to 4x via the video drivers.
The benchmark results are very interesting. The botmatch demos begin to show a CPU limitation thus maxing out framerates. I would call this a real-world example. The flyby demos are more realistic of the overall video card performance since they remove the processor dependency.

The FX5600 Ultra really takes off when the AA/AF is turned on but only in the lower resolutions. The shocking part is how well the Ti4400 actually keeps up.
