Unreal Tournament 2004

The Torlan demo in Unreal Tournament 2004 is mostly limited by the system’s central processor, so we can’t make any comparisons about the participating graphics cards here.

The MSI NX6800-TD128E is fast enough until 1600x1200 and leaves the GeForce 6600 GT far behind.

Note also that the overclocked GeForce 6800 is close to the GeForce 6800 GT, while the SLI platform with two MSI cards is much faster than the 6800 GT in the highest resolution.

The MSI card is always ahead of the GeForce 6600 GT on the Metallurgy map. The SLI mode, unlike overclocking, brings in a rather small performance gain – the game is too CPU-dependent.

Quite expectedly the MSI NX6800-TD128E allows playing this game with comfort even in the highest resolutions of the “eye candy” mode and it leaves the GeForce 6600 GT far behind due to the faster memory bus. The multi-GPU mode and overclocking affect the performance strongly.
