Unreal Tournament 2003 benchmarks on the Opteron!!

I have seen the test of Anandtech, but those tests were completely limited by the PCI bus, as the Athlon 3000+ was performing like a Athlon 2200+, which is impossible of course.

Ace's has done some UT2003 benches, but has used the null render. This is like running a normal benchmark, only the videocard part doesn't happen.

The Opteron 1.8 GHz performed like a 2.8 GHz P4, which isn't bad at all. But IMHO, the Athlon 64 will need at least 2.2 GHz to compete with the 3.4 GHz Pentium 4 which will be available when the Athlon 64 is launched.

If we look at Opteron 1.8GHZ's performance against a 3GHZ HT, raise by 400MHZ, remove about 15% of performance, we still have a damn good performer. And god knows what optimizations nVidia could do to the nForce 3.
