Jedi Knight 2
Although it's based on the aging Quake III engine, Jedi Knight 2 provided it with a decent refresh and is an example of the performance requirements of a present-day FPS.
|
At 1024x768 the majority of the cards are CPU bound, which allows the GeForce4 MX 460 to take a 7% lead over the Radeon 9000 Pro.
|
The situation changes considerably at 1280x1024 where CPU bottlenecks begin to fade away for the slower cards and fill-rate/memory bandwidth come into play. Here the Radeon 9000 Pro is still slower than the GeForce4 MX 460 however.
|
At 1600x1200 the standings don't change too much, the Radeon 9000 Pro continues to be outperformed by the MX 460.

The voodoo fell behind in performance at launch due to its lack of hardware t&l and immature drivers, it was only giving somewhere between geforce ddr and geforce gts performance at launch, and unless you liked glide games, or unreal tournament then the v5 never really outperformed geforce. krogerfeedback.com
