Unreal Tournament 2004

This shooter is nothing serious for a modern graphics card, so the participating devices are all similarly fast in the “pure speed” mode. You may note, however, that the WinFast A6600 GT TDH is ahead of the RADEON 9800 XT in 1600x1200.

We can see the differences between the participating cards more clearly after we enable full-screen anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. The Leadtek card heads the race, but the RADEON 9800 XT comes closer in higher resolutions, profiting by its 256-bit memory bus. So, there’s only 2fps between these two cards in the highest display mode. Note that the performance of the WinFast A6600 GT TDH is quite high even in 1600x1200.

The new architecture from NVIDIA is better than the old architecture from ATI in high resolutions on the Metallurgy map. But the gap is rather small here, too.

We witness the same situation in the “eye candy” mode: the Leadtek A6600 GT TDH outperforms the RADEON 9800 XT in all resolutions and is close to the 50fps mark in 1600x1200.
