In the
UT2004 tests, we see the MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum motherboard trail behind the
Gigabyte i925X board by quite a bit in all three parts of the
benchmark.
Doom 3 is
the most advanced OpenGL game to date, it takes advantage of the latest
videocard technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its absolute
limits. At its highest setting Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the 500MB mark
which means even tomorrows videocards will have a hard time running everything.
The frame rates in the game itself are locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is
wasted. Each test is run three times and with the third run being
recorded.

Ahhh Doom
3, friendly Doom 3! To stress the system irregardless of the videocard, the
resolution and image quality are dialed down as low as possible. From the
results, we see that the MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum performs about midway between
the two reference boards. One thing is for sure, the MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum will
keep hardcore gamers happy!
