Unreal Performance Comparison
Before/After G3 CPU Card Upgrade
Date: 9/21/98

Frank Bernier sent several graphs of Unreal performance before and after a G3 CPU card upgrade.
He purchased a PowerForce G3 220/110/512k model (speed was set higher for tests as shown below)
I hope this information is beneficial to those running Unreal on a CPU upgradeable Mac
who are considering an upgrade and wondering what the benefits would be.

To see other comparison graphs of Unreal performance (Voodoo 1 vs Voodoo 2, 604 vs G3, Tweaker Effects, etc.) see the Unreal Performance Comparisons page.
