There has been a lot of people asking about upgrades from Ti cards, so
I thought I would post my results.
System: Dell Dimension 4550, P4 2.53Ghz, 512mb RAM
Cards: OEM Nvidia Ti4200 64MB; eVGA FX5900XT 128MB
Driver: 61.77
The only two games that I have that will benchmark are Quake3 Arena
(dated I know) and UT2003.
--------------------------------------
Quake 3, Highest Quality, no sound, 1024x768, no patches installed
Ti4200 64MB
Demo001 210.0 fps
Demo002 222.6 fps
5900XT 128MB
Demo001 248.5 +18% improvement
Demo002 247.2 +11%
--------------------------------------
UT2003 benchmarking utility, latest patch, 1
024x768
Ti4200 64MB
Flyby 130.04
Botmatch 53.88
5900XT 128MB
Flyby 165.21 +27% improvement
Botmatch 56.16 +4%
--------------------------------------
[H]ardOCP UT2K3 Benchmarker, high quality, 1024x768
maps: dm-antalus, dom-suntemple, dm-phobos2, dm-inferno, ctf-face3,
ctf-citadel, dm-asbestos
Ti4200 64MB (all tests averaged)
92.44
5900XT 128MB (all tests averaged)
141.3 +53% improvement
RESULTS: Most of the benchmarks are underimpressive. I'm not really
sure why the [H]ardOCP benchmarker shows such a drastic improvement while
the other benchmarks do not, but the [H] benchmarker runs 7 maps and
probably gives a better indicator of performance. If I had cranked the
resolution up I think there would have been a more drastic difference on
all benchmarks but 1024x768 is what I play at so that is what I tested at.
I suppose that at that resolution, my system is CPU bottlenecked.
I was able to crank the quality settings to maximum in Call of Duty,
before it would chug a bit with everything maxed. I have demos installed
of Far Cry, Halo & UT2K4, but I haven't tried them with the new card.
Overall I am happy, the TV-out seems a tad bit sharper with the 5900xt
but without side-by-side comparisons it a tough call.
