Unreal Tournament 3 Video Benchmark - ATI Vs Nvidia
ExtremeTech has tested some recently released NVIDIA (GeForce 8800 GTX şi GeForce 8800 GT) and ATI (Radeon HD 3870 şi Radeon HD 3850) video cards in Unreal Tournament 3. Word is:
The GeForce 8800 GTX certainly runs the game faster than any of the
other cards, but it's far more expensive. What's interesting is just
how close the 8800 GT is-even at the currently inflated "hard to find
for $300" price, it's way better bang for the buck. ATI isn't far
behind with the Radeon HD 3870, which is a bit less expensive and a bit
slower, though they have some driver work to do before the cards
perform up to their potential. For a sub-$200 card, the 256MB Radeon HD
3850 doesn't do half bad, though you'll probably want to drop
resolution or detail levels if you're using that card.
It's a bit disappointing that Epic Games has not made explicit
anti-aliasing or anisotropic filtering settings available. Certainly
modern graphics cards are somehow capable of providing AA in the game,
as they are working to enable it in their driver controls. Putting that
control in the game, even if just for those cards that support it,
would certainly be a benefit to gamers. With the frame rates we're
seeing, we feel certain that those with SLI or Crossfire setups could
enable AA and AF, and even single cards released in the next half year
would be able to handle it.
