Benchmarks: Quake III Arena, UT2003

Quake III Arena

Source: ID Software

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.

3. K7N-Ultra S - 166/333 374.9
4. K7N-Ultra S - 211/422 411.4

Quake III Arena Fastest nv15demo (CPU STRESS)
Processor FPS Ranking
1. 8RGA+ - 166/333 107.3
2. KX400-8XV Pro - 166/333 95
3. K7N-Ultra S - 166/333 105.9
4. K7N-Ultra S - 211/422 118.2

Here we see the K7N-Ultra S performs just as fast as the more expensive 8RGA+ at stock speeds. Despite the lower processor speed, the overclocked system is still able to beat all the other systems by a fair margin.

Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo

Source: Epic

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.

3. K7N-Ultra S - 166/333 76.35
4. K7N-Ultra S - 211/422 79.37

The performance differences in UT2003 are much smaller but it still puts the Magic-Pro K7N-Ultra S in a good light. It's much faster then the Albatron/KX400 offering!
