Warcraft III Performance
Again we are at the low midrange and high budget spot in the charts. Sometimes the game was a little stuttery and colors don't look as crisp as it seems like I remember them being, but again, prerelease hardware and software.
When moving to antialiasing and anisotropic filtering, we see that the Nitro becomes a little more of a high powered budget card.

Time is an issue. Even if they are able to fix all the IQ issues and OGL performance problems, if they release it too late, their performance will be below what ATI and NVIDIA will be offering, and they'll fizzle out. If they can get it out before the big boys bring out their new stuff, and they price it cheap enough, they'll have a product that can potentially take a bit of the FX5200/R9200 portion of the market, which would be good because those cards don't perform well for their price IMO. It will be nice to root for someone other than ATI and NVIDIA for a change.
