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.

5. LANParty NF2 Ultra B - 246/492 128.6

As we saw in 3DMark, the DFI LANParty NF2 Ultra B is fastest even at stock speeds. Overclocking simply makes things better.

Unreal Tournament 2003

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.

It seems that UT2003 is not quite as impressed with the DFI motherboard but then again UT2003 is very hard on AthlonXP based systems.
