Unreal Tournament 2004 Performance
Much like Jedi Knight, the particle effects really stand out in this game, and there are plenty to go 'round when in a tight firefight. The textures are generally nice, but the beauty and sheer volume of the special effects are impressive. The variety of muzzle flashes and explosions from weapons are great, and when you multiply it several times in a game with lots of people it definitely keeps your eyes busy. Even though this is only a DX7/8 based title, EPIC has done a solid job enancing their flagship title with massive textures and content to keep it fresh.
At lower resolutions, we can see the CPU limitation come into play, but cranking up the settings once again shows how strong this card is.

looks awesome congrats to nvidia on raising the bar!personally i don't game very much, and the only reason my Geforce2 was replaced was for the dual-heads of the Radeon 9000
but as an enthusiast, any leaps make me excited :p

Damn, two independant cable lines and a 480W PSU. Good thing it kills in performance, but still too pricey for me. Bring on the 6800XT for us broke people :P.KristopherKubicki - Wednesday, April 14, 2004 - link
