AquaMark, UT2003, X²

AquaMark is a far closer battle. The Scan's overclocked card takes first place. Note that no anisotropic filtering or antialiasing was used.

Unreal Tournament 2003's benchmark has consistently been plagued with accusations and counter accusations of driver enhancement. NVIDIA's FX 5700 Ultra seems to do particularly well here with the 52.16 driver set. We'd like to think that's more to do with Trilinear filtering issues than raw, basic speed.

X² - The Threat shows a vaguely similar story. Both the FX 5700 Ultra and 9800SE AIW are decent midrange cards. Scan adds a bit more spice to its by using Gainward's 500MHz GPU model. No real issues with Scan's gaming performance.
