Posted: November 19, 2000 Written by: Tuan "Solace" Nguyen Unreal Tournament 4.32  Now before you go asking what happened to the massive improvements, remember (from past benchmarks) that Unreal Tournament seems to be more CPU intensive than graphics intensive. Quake 3 packs more visual punches than UT, yet is able to put out faster frame rates than UT. This is proof that UT isn’t a very good judge for frame rate speed with Direct3D. But we included it anyway, just so you can see the type of play you can achieve.  We notice that when UT is switched into 32bit mode, not much of a performance hit is taken until 1280x1024. Up until 1280x1024, the CPU determines almost all performance points. However, when switching from 16bit to 32bit in 1280x1024 (and above), performance takes a big nosedive. Try sticking to lower resolutions for UT if you don’t have a burly CPU and graphics card. |
