Page 22 - 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 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:
One more Unreal title:
| Unreal 2003 | 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1600x1200 |
| 5950U | 99 | 92 | 91 | 75 |
| 6800U | 104 | 104 | 102 | 101 |
| 3.4 GHz | 117 | 115 | 113 | 111 |
| Trilinear Opt Off | 98 | 98 | 96 | 95 |
And the with Image Quality settings:
| 4xAA 8xAF | 800x600 | 1024x768 | 1280x1024 | 1600x1200 |
| 5950U | 75 | 58 | 56 | 44 |
| 6800U | 101 | 99 | 88 | 73 |
| 3.4 GHz | 113 | 108 | 91 | 74 |
| 16xAF 0xAA | 98 | 97 | 92 | 79 |
| 8xAA 0xAF | 81 | 64 | 44 | 31 |
Really good results. Let's move on to a golden oldie in our test suite, Quake III Arena:
