WCIII runs like butter on 10.3 and this was on 7b44. Better than 10.2. There's a thread over on the macnn.com forums in the games section that talks about people's experiences with games on 10.3.
7b76 or whatever was the first build I used of panther (maybe it was 74) and it broke GhostRecon, then with 7b85 on my new PowerBook it ran beautifully. Then again I did move up in computer hardware.
Since quartz got a speed boost, I would think that games should run better because of it.
"Panther makes us wonder every day a bit more. "le_mackeux" on our forums posted the results he reached with BenchUT2003 under X.2.6 and X.3. He uses a G4 Quicksilver 933 with a Radeon 9000 and 1.5 Go RAM. Tests were done under 1280*1024 resolution with demo flyby-citadel
Under X.2.6:
Score 37.00
Min FPS 11.42
Average FPS 36.94
max 121.27
Under X.3:
Score 55.95
Min FPS 17.4
Average FPS 57.026
max 192.117
Score improves by more than 30% ! One would end frustrated by all the time wasted since X version 0 !"
