I will use the Botmatch tests here, as they are much more indicative of real
game performance. I am using the Citadel botmatch benchmark, because it is by
far the most strenuous UT2003 benchmark, scoring average frame rates at least
20fps below the scores the other benchmarks give. The first table contains the
average frame rate with all the detail settings set to the lowest settings,
in 16 bit colour, and the second table has the results with all the detail settings
at maximum, in 32 bit colour.
To make the tables easier to read, all results under 50 fps are shown in red,
to represent an unsatisfactory score, and scores between 50 and 80 fps are shown
in orange, and any score over 80fps is shown in green. The margin of error is
only around .3 FPS.

And now putting these scores into perspective, here are the results from the
Anubis botmatch, a rather less taxing UT2003 benchmark.
