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. imageview.php?image=100

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:

Unreal 2003 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
Radeon 9600 Pro 256 80 62 45 34
GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 85 68 51 41
Radeon 9600 Pro 89 76 57 43
Radeon 9700 Pro 96 91 78 63
9800 Pro HIS 102 98 86 70
GeForce FX 5900 Ultra 97 96 87 72
432/380 100 97 89 76

Both the 5900 and 9800 are very capable of handling this game, as you can see. Even with quality settings AF and AA enabled, we still see awesome numbers and the 9800 will take the lead in performance.
