Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT Review
The G92 based 8800GT has been the talk of the town for the past few weeks, with teeny bits and pieces of information flowing around the web, and today, we will be taking a look the 8800GTs we've recieved through the weekend. In this review, we will see how does the 8800GT hold up against it's predecessors, the 8800GTS and 8800GTX on high resolution, in both single card and SLI mode. (*SLI scores will come later)
Unreal Tournament 3 ! The third installment in the extremely popular and highly celebrated Unreal tournament series is back - fully beefed up with the Unreal 3.0 engine, support for Hardware Physics processing, and that same gritty gameplay that gets everyone fired up for some "good ol' fraggin sessions" !
Most notable in UT3 is the Unreal 3.0 engine, which some of you may have already experienced a taste of - in the currently available game Bioshock. You can expect greater attention to graphical detail in UT3, as well as the implementation of physics processing. Enhanced modes of multiplayer online gameplay modes will keep players glued to their seats - and mice/keyboards - for a long time to come !
Apparently, the demo is only DX9 and limited image quality settings. We will eagerly awaits the full version to be out soon.
Benchmark results!
The scores apparently are limited by the FPS lock at 60. We are currently taking a relook on the scores with by unlocking the frame rates that are capped at 62. Results soon.
Update : We used a utility called UT3Bench and set bSmoothframerate=FALSE in BaseEngine.ini to remove the FPS lock. We chose DM-Shangrila Flyby map and now 8800 GTX with more shader power leads the pack. GeForce 8800 GTS 320 and 640 are on par so more graphics memories are negligible here.
At a higher 2560x1600 resolution, the GTX leads the pack again.
