A
completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects
such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you
can hide in them) and many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects.
Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a
previously unseen level of detail.

While
there's an appreciable gap between the high-end and low-end in this benchmark
(as you would kind of hope there would be), it should be pretty clear that if
you're a gamer on a budget you won't be disappointed by going with the ASRock
775V88!

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.

The ASRock
775V88 is slightly slower than the competition here but as mentioned before you
won't notice it much when gaming. I'm pretty pleased with the performance of the
board considering it's entry level.
