UT2003 & Conclusion


UT2003:

Low Quality benches:

Madshrimps (c)


Madshrimps (c)


Madshrimps (c)
4.4% Speed increase! Not bad


High Quality benches:

Madshrimps (c)
The DM-Inferno shows an increase of 300% ? Impressive to say the least!


Madshrimps (c)


Madshrimps (c)
Still a respectable 3.5% gain in performance


Although not earth-shattering improvements are seen, If you want the ultimate performance for your ATI video card we recommend upgrading to this 3.2 version!

Serious Sam, 3DMark2001 and Q3A didn't show much difference at all! Guess these drivers are more for the UT minded people out there!
