Unreal Tournament 2003
Last year, Unreal Tournament 2003 brought back the action packed first person shooter that many fans were familiar with from the original Unreal Tournament.
The tests were run at 1024x768 in both OpenGL and Direct3D using HardOCP's Unreal Tournament 2003 benchmarking utility. Scores are average FPS

In the Direct3D tests, the nVidia card pulls ahead by as much as 16%. However, in the OpenGL, the ATI AIW 9600XT really flexes it's muslces by spanking the GeForce FX 5700 Ultra by a whopping 53%. Personally I prefer running my applications in OpenGL, so this is a big plus for the AIW.
