I will try and dig up my old benchmark results but I do fear they went away with a hard disc that died on me. Still I'm thinking we have been playing UT in very different resolutions which perhaps explains why I view UT as graphics limited rather than CPU limited. Fx. I upgraded from a 9700 Pro to a X1900XTX and promise you it did make a difference in UT at 2048x1536. As you I had trouble finding data covering old and new hardware so let's go with UT 2004: http://www.tomshardware.com/2004/10/04/vga_charts_iv/page7.html Note how the CPU used seems to offer aprox. 118 fps and how enabling AA and AF makes a huge difference, fx. more than 100% on the 9600 card, with only the fastest cards still bringing the 118 fps. Of course UT will provide different figures but going high res you'll see a similar effect. Kind regards Bruno
