Benchmarks
Pretty much the standard fare for a video card review. I am finding Unreal Tournament is not the best game to test with, since it seems to give strange results, at all resolutions. It is a very texture intensive game, and seems to play smoothly, albeit slower than Quake3 most of the time. I did notice while playing UT that the framerates are very consistent, and don’t suddenly drop during a heated battle.
