Direct3D Performance - UnrealTournament - 1GHz Thunderbird

As we have found in the past, Unreal Tournament really has a liking for 3dfx based cards, with the Voodoo5 5500 coming out on top. We also find that the Radeon based cards perform very well. The slower clock speed of the 32MB Radeon card is apparent but does not result in as large of a performance difference that we saw in Quake III Arena tests.

Once again, we see the ATI Radeon based cards performing well. Most noticeable is the difference in speeds between the 64MB cards and the 32MB cards. This is a result of the texture hungry Unreal Tournament engine, where in 32-bit color 32MB cards are forced to texture swap due to insufficient card memory.

At 1600x1200x16, we find the All-in-Wonder 32MB Radeon card performing 7.1% slower than the higher clocked 64MB card. Other than that, the All-in-Wonder Radeon seems to perform quite well in comparison to NVIDIA based products.
