New UT2003 at Anandtech

mmmm... very interesting... we all play at 100+ fps even though our monitors normally handle 85hz...

Why didn't he use 1024x768 with some anti aliasing ? Cause in these test's he's get something like 60fps and the nvidia gf4 would have looked much less impressive ?

IMHO, once you put a faster CPU it's usually in order to pump up the resolution and details.

Why don't we e-mail him asking to do those benchmarks with Quake 2 and use software rendering to test the cards ?

85hz? who the **** runs 85 hz nowadays? 120 all the way! both monitors!
Im saving for my 3rd and my parhelia 256mb UT2k3 at 800*600*32*3 everything full and 120 hz

note the new standard resolution description of four numbers instead of three: width:height:bpp:monitors

<B>I</B> run 85Hz. Once you've got a refresh rate fast enough that your eyes don't tire, anything over that just reduced the life of your monitor.

I run 80Hz. Because at 1600x1200 my old Iiyama doesn't do more

watch your language knirfie, this is a 'family' forum

Since I had to save somewhere, I could only afford a 17" monitor which makes max. 1280x1024 at 60Hz, I am using 1024x768 at 85Hz, and even that is over the recommend specs of that crappy monitor!

I usually use 85Hz, say 95% of the time - but if I'm working for an exceptionally long period I pump it up to 90Hz (UXGA32).

Knirfie: Who the murc uses 800x600? 1600x1200 all the way baby.

And I prefer 2 x 1600x1200x32 for the resolution part, as 2 is the 1337357 part of the spec

hey I cant help it if both my monitors run 1024 at 120 hz, I just wish I had a parhelia

[Reckless]

Not noticed any difference above 85Hz ... so it's 1280*1024 @ 85Hz for me
