NVIDIA GeForce2 Pro

Unreal Tournament Performance

The minimum frame rate numbers at 640x480x32 show that there is not much of a performance difference in the cards when it comes to the minimum frame rates they will render at when at this resolution.

The average frame rate numbers at 640x480x32 show all cards performing nearly identical. On the top of the list is the Voodoo5 5500, a card which has always been favored by Unreal Tournament in lower resolution. The GeForce2 Pro clocks in at 94 FPS average.

At 1024x768x32 we see that the GeForce2 Pro ties the GeForce2 Ultra as the card producing the highest minimum frame rate. The Radeon cards come in second, with the Voodoo5 5500 falling to the bottom of the list.

Once again we see the GeForce2 Pro tying the GeForce2 Ultra in average frame rate, meaning that these cards perform the "fastest."

At 1600x1200x16, we can really see where the extra memory bandwidth goes in Unreal Tournament. At this resolution, the GeForce2 Pro and the GeForce2 Ultra only differ by 4 FPS when it comes to minimum frame rate. Even if you hit this frame rate in game play, there should be no loss of smoothness.

The average frame rate numbers show nearly the same performance differences we saw in the minimum frame rate numbers. Once again, the GeForce2 Pro falls behind the GeForce2 Ultra by 7 FPS but manages to race ahead of the GeForce2 GTS by 8 FPS. Do you see a trend here, as the GeForce2 Pro continues to fit right between the GeForce2 GTS and the GeForce2 Ultra?
