Unreal Tournament 2003

The Gigabyte card is again a little behind the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra, but strikes back as soon as it gets overclocked.

The GV-R96P128D is better than the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra in 1280x1024, but loses its ground in 1600x1200 even when working at overclocked frequencies. It seems that the higher performance of the graphics memory subsystem of the GeForce FX 5600 Ultra was crucial here.

Putting aside the overclocking results, the two cards are performing similarly.

Flyby Antalus shows an inexplicable favor towards NVIDIA’s GPUs. I wonder if the sly software developers have tweaked anything here, considering this demo is often used by hardware reviewers for benchmarking purposes.

Overclocking helps Gigabyte’s baby this time. Anyway, the 800MHz memory of the GeForce FX Ultra card makes the final blow in 1600x1200: the GeForce is faster than the RADEON by about 30%.

Again, the GV-R96P128D is competitive only when it is overclocked.
