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.

The
reference board is ever so slightly slower than the i875P-based reference
motherboards. While
you won't really notice the difference yourself when using a PC, benchmarks do show
that the i875P is indeed faster when it comes to QIII Arena. Perhaps with
subsequent driver updates, the 655FX can be tuned to perform faster than Intel's flagship
i875P?

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.
As we saw with Quake III Arena and 3DMark2001, the
SiS 655FX performs very well in a gaming
environment. Considering that the chipset is brand new, we can only expect to
see performance go up as the drivers are
updated. The i875P performs best here, but it is the i865PE that takes up the rear
this time.
