UT 2003 4xAA 8xAF

Unreal Tournament 2003

Notes

While we don’t want to spoil the results of Chris’ upcoming Image Quality Shootout article, which just missed today’s launches, we did want to let you know that NVIDIA’s Detonator 52.16 driver still disables trilinear filtering in UT2K3, so we went ahead and manually adjusted the RADEON cards to a similar filtering level, which turned out to be the “Performance” setting.

As you can see, the RADEON cards are actually still competitive with NVIDIA’s pseudo-trilinear even in default settings, but we didn’t want to give the impression that GeForce FX 5700 Ultra was “faster” per se in this test, as clearly it does less work than ATI by default.
