Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Performance
Here we start to see signs of a CPU bound quake engine based game. Fortunately this is our lightest test setting.
increasing the resolution helps the rest of the pack fall a little further behind NV40.
These benchmarks are really no surprise. NVIDIA has always been stronger in OGL based games, and Quake III engine based games in particular.

Advanced features are worthless if your driver team keeps breaking them..f11 - Tuesday, May 4, 2004 - link
kinda starting to feel sorry for nvidia now. each generation they stuff their cards with more feautures than they need to, end end up with a slower and more featured card. If anyone's expecting SM3 to be a big hit, remember that the original FX line had lots of extensions to DX9 and they never really made much a difference.
