UT2003 and Tiger Woods 2004

Unreal Tournament 2003 (2225)

  • Author: Epic
  • DirectX Class: 8.1
  • Pixel and Vertex Shaders: No
  • Other: High resolution textures show massive detail when aniso is applied
  • FSAA set through control panel. AF set through .ini file




UT2003 also demonstrates the usefulness of a 256MB RAM buffer, especially when we make the going tough. ABIT/ATI is still the one to beat here.

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
  • Author: EA Sports
  • DirectX Class: 9.0
  • Pixel and Vertex Shaders: Yes (unknown versions or amount of effects)
  • FSAA and AF set through control panel




Tiger Woods 2004 testing is undertaken using a custom hole-in-one shot on the Bethpage course. The 9800 XT card is way ahead. ABIT, by dint of a sticker on the cooler, also vicariously takes first place.
