The GC had decent FP from both CPU and GPU, most other only had decent from one. It could do closer to 11 GFLOPS.
It also had the most impressive matrix transformations, able to do 3 billion/sec. (PS2 and XBOX at 2 billion).

Overall, I would say the graphics on the GC were more impressive and the original, except for one thing... the biggest limitation with the gamecube in terms of graphics being more obvious was the media was only 1.5GB on the mini dvd and no internal hard drive, and Xbox could read 6.8GB on a dvd. That limited or extra storage played a factor for many games in the graphics quality...

The lack of storage space coupled with less ram did lead to lower res textures and video playback suffered in games.

 

That said.... The loading times on the GC blew away the competition even using discs for the first time on a ninty home machine
