UT3 Performance Review -- HD 2900XT vs. 8800GTS 640 vs. 8800GTX || 2600XT vs. 8600GTS

[Shadowmage]

Good review. I love how they show not just average FPS, and also an FPS chart. It's obvious that the progression in performance is as follows: 8800GTS 640MB, 2900XT 512MB, and 8800GTX. The lower resolutions don't count due to the 60FPS cap, so I'm mostly looking at the more insane reses.

RV670 should be perfect for this game, especially if 8800GT only has the 92 shaders instead of the rumored 112.

Also, it seems to me that R600 architecture is very well suited for whatever the UT3 engine is doing. Both Rainbow 6, Bioshock, and UT3, all games that use the UT3 engine, seem to favor R600. Since most of the upcoming blockbuster games use the UT3 engine, that's another huge win for ATI/AMD.
