UT2003 Benchmarks - What does this mean?

[P4spooky]

I don't play games on my computer so please bear with me:

I ran some benchmarks after downloading the UT2003 Demo version. Here are the numbers I got:

dm-antalus
22.389263 / 50.167885 / 112.310661 fps
Score = 50.175789

ctf-citadel
51.613823 / 123.484985 / 365.422668 fps
Score = 123.722916

dm-asbestos
21.047079 / 62.177887 / 127.373360 fps
Score = 62.206093

dm-antalus
54.039589 / 149.702972 / 617.112061 fps
Score = 149.756134

br-anubis
22.239546 / 80.303917 / 177.755508 fps
Score = 80.314552

dm-asbestos
20.358650 / 62.455078 / 127.034386 fps

1. Are these numbers good?

Here is my system: Aopen AX4R+ (Granite bay), 1G Corsair XMS 3200C2, 1.6A at 2.56, Leadtek A250LE TI4200 Card (default settings). Monitor: Samsung 191T at 1280X1024X32.

Comments?

I'd say that the "scores" are FPS, but I could be wrong. What resolution/settings were you running that at?

 

[Smilin]

They look like reasonable scores for your system at that res.

You may try dropping down a notch on the resolution and turning on AF and AA to make up for it. The overall image would probably look a little better.

My best guess would be:
Minimum / Average / Maximum
(all in Frames Per Second)
Why the score differs slightly from the middle number is beyond me.

If you're tweaking your system and comparing different fsb speeds / memory timings / video card overclocks, I would pay special attention to minimum and average fps. I've noticed that sometimes a higher speed gives me lower UT2003 minimum framerates, which I would guess might be due to memory latency issues or something of the sort. You may notice 60fps dropping briefly to 21fps, but going between 60fps and 130 fps may be hard to detect (especially with Vsynch on).

Thanks a lot guys. I am not sure how to adjust resolution in the demo. I just double clicked a series of bat files in the demo sub directory. Anyone can tell me how these numbers compare to a similar system. I am trying to find out if the additional memory bandwidth I am getting on the Granite bay chip set affects the results? I have set the display resolution to 1280X1032X32 using display properties window in W2K.

Driver version is 41.09 and I am using Direct X 9
