Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Performance no AA/AF
Jedi Academy is another game in a series with a distinguished history. This game is a bit of a blend between first person shooter and third person (Tomb Raider style) action depending on your weapon of choice. In order to bench this game we ran FRAPS over an in game cut scene featuring Chewie, gunfire, and a nice explosion.

I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY GOT SUCH LOW SCORES ON THE GEFROCE FX 5600 ULTRAI BUILT COMPUTERS FOR A LIVING AND OFTEN BENCHMARK THESE SYSTEMS FOR MYSELF
TAKE GUNMETAL FOR EXAMPLE
THE 5600 ULTRA SCORED 14.5FPS
ON A ATHLON XP 2600 KT400 DDR333 GEFORCE FX 5600 NON-ULTRA I GET 25FPS
NOT TO MENTION I GET 47FPS ON A 5900
HOW IS IT THAT WITH SUPERIOR HARDWARE THEY SCORED %40 LOWER?
WHAT BULLSHIT IS THIS...

#4If we are talking about <$2.00 burritos, how about including some tacos? Does it make sense? Tacos are cheeper because of the hard, quite unedible shell. However, because a burrito can be warmed, the shell is of soft phsophate.

How do you get an FPS rating from WarCraft 3?Anonymous User - Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - link
Enough of the speculation of when NVIDA products will come out. May I point you to a quote from the Radeon 9700 Pro review:"NV30 will be out around December"
The product didn't actually make its way out until March, and even in limited volumes then.
Telling people to wait on the 5700 Ultra doesn’t make much sense.

If we are talking about <$200 cards, how about include the 9800se. It can be had for $170 and it seems like it would be a decent performer, especially if overclocked. Can we also include the 9800se (non-pro) in future reviews?thanks

As an owner of a Geforce 4 ti4200, I apreciate having it included in the lineup, as it shows me that unless I have the cash to dish out for a 9700+, it's not realy worth it :) Great review!Anonymous User - Wednesday, October 15, 2003 - link
A 100Mhz increase in core clock frequency! The benifit of buying this card becomes apparent in future titles, not current ones. My guess is the gap between 9600XT and 9700 pro will close significantly in Half-Life2 or Doom3 =).I also truely hope the GeforceFX 5700 will beable to dish out more damage then the 5600. No fun buying from just one company.
As for me, I doubt ill find a reason to upgrade my 9500pro for quite some time. Anyone who bought a card with the R3XX on it should not upgrade until DX10 comes out.
