Quake 3 is probably the most used game benchmark around the world and it will be used here as well. With this game the Ti4200 was a little better than the 5200 Ultra by around five FPS at each resolution. Even though the Ti4200 was able to output a higher FPS the 5200 Ultra still had a very admirable score and was above 100FPS in every test.
Serious Sam is one of the newer and more stressful games on the market right now. I used the standard benchmarking tool which was included with the game to do this testing so you would be able to more easily compare with the results. The benchmark does a flyby of the map and a bot match benchmark for each resolution.
I only made a graph for the flyby because I felt the bot match benchmark was irrelevant because it is done in 3rd person rather than 1st person like the game is played. This being the most intensive benchmark I did the FPS were the lowest that I saw but not disappointing. At 1024×768 this card was able to do 126.9FPS which is really good. At 1600×1200 the score was much lower at 62FPS but even that score is more than enough to play this game without any problem.
Unreal Tournament 2003 is a really good and graphically stressful game. I used the standard benchmarking tool which was included with the game to do this testing so you would be able to more easily compare with the results. The benchmark does a flyby of the map and a bot match benchmark for each resolution. The Ti4200 did a much better job than the 5200 Ultra which was unable to keep close to the results of the Ti4200. The results from the 5200 Ultra were a little disappointing but is understandable due to the nature of the card.
The bot match is done from a third person view rather than a first person like the game is actually played. Even though the benchmark does not run the game as it would be played it will still give you a good idea of what your system will be able to do when you are playing. Like the flyby benchmark the Ti4200 did a better job and produced higher FPS than the 5200 Ultra. With this benchmark the 5200 Ultra was just a little bit behind the Ti4200 and was still able to keep the FPS high enough so that if you were actually playing the game it would not get choppy.
