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.

4.	AK79G MAX - 185/370	114.6

Hmm, here we see the AK79G MAX lags behind the Epox 8RGA+a bit in the demo001 test and by quite a few frames in the nv15demo which is mainly CPU limited .

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 kinder towards the AOpen AK79G MAX, here the motherboard outperforms the Epox 8RGA+ at stock speeds.
