Page 14 - Unreal 2003

Unreal 2003The Unreal Tournament 2003 benchmark is much more modern than Quake III, this is not the Unreal 2003 performance test as used by some other websites, contrary to that, it's based on the demo.

Since the Unreal Tournament 2003 demo is finally out, and available for a free download. You can get it at just about any file download site (link). Be prepared to download 100MB of data though. 

One nice little addition to UT2003 demo is that it has a built-in benchmark utility.  You can find the benchmark in the system subdirectory for the game after it installs.  The file is appropriately named 'benchmark.exe'.  Run this file, select the resolution you want to benchmark, and it will go through 4 different demos, 2 are "flyby" and 2 are "botmatch" demos.  The flyby demos give you an idea of how high frame rates would be without bots, while the botmatch demos give you an idea of what kind of fps you can expect while actually playing the game. The benchmark actually leverages more cpu and graphics intensive technologies that the engine is capable of. First results, FlyBy:

The 5900 is very capable of handling this game as you can see. Small reminder, we tested this card at an average Athlon XP 1800+ based system but again look at the framerate difference on a high-end system configuration.

Even with quality settings AF and AA enabled we still see awesome numbers. We also recorded the Botmatch numbers:

And the AA and AF numbers in BotMatch:
