Well, Unreal Tournament is a strange beast when it comes to framerate. On my system with my G400 @ MAX speed, sometimes my average is around 55fps, sometimes it's around 35fps.....it's quite odd.
The main point though is that it's smooth. To be honest, the UT engine likes to hover around 30-37fps, no matter your video card. It's an odd bird but it's very smooth at those speeds.
Sure, a Geforce DDR will be faster. It will be more expensive as well. My parents have a TNT2 which O/C's to Ultra speeds easily, and for less than $100 it's a bargain and it's darned fast. I like it, I like my G400, I like the Geforce.
G400 wins me over for its image quality which is distinctly superior, if only slightly. I love the control of powerdesk, these forums, and the Matrox/MURC people in general. I doubt there is another forum like this anywhere, or another MURC, that can compare.
