NVIDIA GeForce 256 DDR

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.
