I have been playing Unreal tournament on my coppermine P3 933mhz with a voodoo 5 5500 and on and off Voodoo 3 3000, both AGP, great performance and very good FPS(60+), now i decided to install on a Northwood P4 2.6ghz(800fsb) system, same RAM size(512Mb), same OS(win XP SP2) but with a ATI Radeon 64Mb DDR card, the performance seems really crummy in comparison. so my question is, was UT really optimised for the Voodoo cards and ignored everything else, or is something else going on?
http://www.anandtech.com/show/585/26 anand seemed to have the same deal going on, but really does the difference between a P3 933 and P4 2.6 not make up for this? I'm kinda surprised as the P4 box is only making a regular frame rate of just under 40fps @ 800x600 32 bit. TBH this seems really weak, unreal gold is also averaging 38 FPS on the demo at same settings.
Well,thanks for taking the time to read,
Best,
