Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Performance no AA/AF

These benchmarks were done during the same cut scene with the Wookie and a gunfight going on.


NVIDIA is the clear leader in this benchmark. Each card had very similar minimum framerate numbers, so there isn't really one card that has a distinct advantage, and either ATI or NVIDIA will work just fine for running this game at the highest resolution and the highest quality.

    How very balanced of you #30.

    Let us be patient; Anand is asking questions on OUR behalf in order to REVEAL truth.

    I'm focused on the questions and the answers. Where is your focus?

    #33, that's what came to my mind as soon as I read this article. I think that Anand may have just provided some input, done testing, or just edited it slightly...

    The IQ shots are not the best I could imagine.

    Some of them are cropped out so that you can't see a lot of details: UT2003, Aquamark3, Wolfenstein.

    Some of them are set up so that you wouldn't get any possible artifacts with texture filtering, because of the high camera angle: Warcraft3, C&C Generals.

    The Tomb Raider, Aquamark and Wolf screenshots are also too dark to notice anything. And I don't see any sign of a DX9 shader in either the Halo or the TR shots, so we have no idea of DX9 image quality.

    But kudos for all the testing you've done, must have been a lot of hard work.

    #30 ATI has not released performance drivers for a long time now and they already said don't hold your breath on those performance increases coming in the 3.8s either. The main focus since the 3.1s have mainly it seems been bug fixes with slight performance improvements in various games. 3.8 = more features and bug fixes with probably slight performance improvements here and there in specific games.

    Derek probably wrote the whole article while Anand was behind him cracking his whip. So I dunno about this "supposed" two authors!

    Would all the fanboys please take a deep breath or troll elsewhere? I swear to god some of you people will go out of your way to look for bias where there isn't any.

    I own a 9800 Pro and I for one am glad that it seems like Nvidia has closed the gap considerably, their customers deserve it.

    Great review, I love the IQ shots. I too am waiting to see the 9600xt review though.

    To those of you mentioned Anand a few times, you should also note this was written by two authors. Or atleast worked on together by two authors, so you should try and understand that you may different "types" of responses and analyses (sp?) of similar results if they're done by different people. I think we should wait for the 3.8 Cat. article before we jump to too many conclusions.

    This is the way I take screen shots in final fantasy XI benchmark 2.

    - Use Hypersnap-dx
    - Enable directx capture in Hypersnap
    - Change Hypersnap “Quick Save” settings to repeat capture every 5 seconds
    - Launch Final Fantasy XI benchmark 2 menu
    - When you click the “START” button press “Print Screen” once resolution changes.

    Wow this is the biggest video card review I have ever read: Awesome!!

    >Right now NVIDIA is at a disadvantage; ATI's >hardware is much easier to code for and the >performance on Microsoft's HLSL compiler clearly >favors the R3x0 over the NV3x
    ever heard from the ps2_a compiler target?
