The Epox
9NDA3+ has absolutely no problems running through UT2004, posting great scores
in line with the other motherboards in the test group.
Doom 3 is
the most advanced game to date in terms of graphics. It takes advantage of the
latest videocard technology and pushes the processing power of the CPU to its
absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality, texture sizes pass the
500MB mark which means even tomorrow's 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.

The Epox
9NDA3+ comes in last in Doom 3, but the difference is only a few FPS off the
reference boards.
