Did anyone read that Unreal II GPU benchmarking article on Anandtech? I think tom put that cheesy Aquanox article up on the main site as a response. Tom's articles always seem really good until you read the Stuff on Anandtech.

Both articles gripe about ATI's drivers as usual. When is ATI going to learn? There current stuff would really have nVidia for lunch if they could get it working as advertised.

Notice how Tom's article was up first?

BTW, it takes more than a few minutes to write up an article like the Auquanox one.

EDIT:
Better? I just changed it because I was reading through a ton of newbie posts on two forums right away, and realized I was being too sarcastic. And I didn't want everyone to be thinking "What'd he change?" when I didn't really change much.

If you edit your post, at least say so.

In response to:
"Notice how Tom's article was up first? No, I guess you didn't. Oh well."

Yes I did. Actually tom's article was done for the newsletter previously. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to move an article like the Aquanox one from one place to the other.


Edit: Yeah that's better...you were being a smartass but I still love you.

All articles appear in the newsletter, not just on the website. At least that's what I've noticed.

Where were the screen shots?? That game will be sexxy I'm sure. 1280x1024 is gonna be murderous, but nothing a little major overclockin' w/ a peltier won't fix;)

Only if you let me see the Umpa Lumpa- Homer Simpson.

I know, no screenshots :frown:
Yeah, 1280x1024 choked all the cards, and 1600x1200 was just murder.

Watch GF4 pass the Unreal 2 test w/ flying colors:)

And probably the R300 too, but the GF4 will be out first. My 8500 didn't do too bad, but not quite as good as I expected.

Is the epic engine only d3D, or ogl as well, cause w/ ogl, I could ask em to send me a sample to benchmark w/ my Quadro DCC:)

It would have been nice to see the minimum framerate as well as the average.

if you want some screenshots. Not really from the test but to know what the engine looks like, go to unreal2.com

Seen those, I'm getting sick of that site never being updated :frown:

I'm just happy to know that my Radeon 8500 will be able to handle next-generation games at reasonable performance at 1024*768.

Man Flames proud of that QUATRO.

You`ll get nothing and like it.
January 27, 2002 1:14:38 PM

But the problem is I HAVE to run games at 1280x1024! Damn!

Ohh, I'd hate to "upgrade" that Quadro to a GeForce4. That would hurt.

Lol. If I could find a damn email address for epic I'd ask em to send me a beta copy of Unreal2 to see how it runs on my card, but can't find email!

I'm sure they'd send it right over.

BTW, that was a really funny episode of Simpsons.
