Unreal Tournament 2003 was tested using the HardOCP benchmarking software. In testing with UT2003 we used the integrated frame-by-frame time results of the program. We then converted the results into second-by-second results, which were used to create a graph. The other programs were monitored by Fraps to provide the same type of graph. All the tests we run at 1024*768 at the highest settings, apart from AA and ansiotropic filtering; 1024*768 with 4XAA or 16XFAA and 2X ansiotropic filtering; 1600*1200 with the highest settings except from the AA and ansiotropic filtering.

We didn't test at 1600*1200 with AA and ansiotropic filtering on because, as you will see with the other results the performance will not be anywhere near useful. The test system itself provides a system that doesn't really limit the video cards in this case, and is something that is in the same approximate price range as the video cards tested today. So let us look at how these video cards perform in four games, and first in OpenGL games such as Jedi Knight II.

To see a more in depth frame rate graph, click on the bar corresponding to the test result you would like to see. This will bring up the second by second graph of the frame rate, that I will refer to in the results.
