Other then the on board GeForce4 MX
videocard care of the nForce IGP northbridge this board is virtually identical to Abit's extremely successful NF7/NF7-S motherboards.

Benchmarks: QIII Arena, UT2003
Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS)
that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and
having graphics textures that can fill videocards, even after 3 years it's still
able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

Like we
have seen in previous nForce2 IGP/GT based reviews, the onboard
GeForce4 MX does pretty well for itself here.

Unreal Tournament 2003 is the sequel to 1999's
multiple 'Game of the Year' award winner. It uses the very latest Unreal Engine
technology - where graphics, sound and game play are taken beyond the bleeding
edge. Unreal Tournament 2003 employs the use of Vertex as well as Pixel Shaders
and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 8 videocard to get the most out of
the game.
UT2003 is a bit harder on the integrated GeForce4 MX
:-) Like we have seen in the other benchmarks the NF7-M performs on par with
the 8RGA+ at stock speeds and the Radeon 9700 Pro and Nforce2 make a pretty good combination
incidently.
