3DMark2001SE:

I opted to run 3DMark2001SE instead of 3DMark2003 for due to the controversy concerning the latter of the benchmarks, even with the updated patches and all.

We can see the TI4600 taking a demanding lead over the FX71 in 3DMark2001SE.

Gun Metal 2:

The Gun Metal 2 benchmark stresses the cards through Vertex Shader v2.0 and Pixel Shader v1.1, as well as forces the cards to run AA and AF.

The FX71 lags behind a bit in this benchmark as the TI4600 utilizes some of its advanced features to improve its performance throughout this test.

Unreal Tournament 2003:

I ran this test using UT2K3Bench 2.0.

Again the TI4600 pulls away from the FX71. It's clear by now, if not before, that the FX71 was not designed as a replacement for the TI4600, and may not be such a great upgrade option for those with TI4600 cards.

FFXI

This is the only test that was not ran at 1024x768. Instead it was ran at 640x480.

In regards to the scores, the FX71 pulls slightly ahead from the TI4600 by approximiately 2.6%.
