LOL
You just don't get it do you?
If I get 42 fps at 1600x1200 and 50 at 640x480
then the benchmark is null and void because at 640x480 the ceiling is
capped!
The point of the other benchmarks is to show that these types of games have
no cap at all. UT on the other hand has very little differene in benchmarks
making this a completely useless comparrison. It's flawed.....
