Since Unreal Tournament is affected by more factors than just video card driver quality at 640 x 480 the DDR GeForce and Rage Fury MAXX are virtually tied for the first place spot at 640 x 480. All of the cards perform respectably here, the Savage 2000 is held back by the poor D3D performance of its drivers.
The Voodoo3 cards excel in this test because we were forced to use the Glide setting for the UT tests with the 3dfx cards, the D3D setting would not complete our tests properly. In any case, if you're into playing UT, then the Voodoo3 with its native Glide support will give you excellent gameplay simply because UT was designed with superb Glide support. The D3D and especially the OpenGL performance under UT is not up to par with its Glide performance at all, giving the 3dfx cards the edge in the UT tests.
For those of you wondering about Athlon 700 performance, the standings are identical to that of the Pentium III 700.

So, Anand was ranting about a top GPU from nvidia costing only 300$artk2219 - Thursday, April 13, 2017 - link
Hey man, thats like $432.87 as of January 2017 or pretty much the same, $428.93 in your time of July 2016 time traveler. Either way, Vega needs to put the smack down on Nvidias pricing, and you can stick that in your bucket young whipper snappers of the future. :Dartk2219 - Sunday, November 18, 2018 - link
Sadly Vega didn't do anything, here's looking at you Navi. Nvidia needs a smack down on their pricing more than ever.Doogiehowser99 - Wednesday, March 31, 2021 - link
Everyone would kill for Pascal pricing in 2021. What would 2000 Anandtech say about Nvidia flagship GPUs going for $2000. That's way above inflation. LolCHADD44 - Tuesday, February 15, 2022 - link
2022 and this still dominates gpu market
