Unreal Tournament 3 is the latest installment from this famous first person shooter franchise, supporting DirectX 10 graphics when installed on Windows Vista with a DX10 compatible card. We upgraded Unreal Tournament 3 to version 1.2 and benchmarked it with the help of HOC UT3 benchmarking utility using the “Containment” demo, maxing out image quality settings (image quality at “high” and anisotropic filtering at x16). It is important to notice that we haven’t applied the PhysX mod to this game, which would transfer PhysX processing from the CPU to the GPU on nVidia cards. The results are below, in frames per second (FPS).
