Unreal Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard if you plan to play competitively.

Unfortunately the DFI LANParty 875P-T was not available for these tests. On this newer 3D engineer the VIA PT880 based ASRock 775V88 trails the competition by quite a bit. Unlike the previous gaming benchmarks, you likely would notice the performance difference between the review board and some of Intel's high-end solutions here.

Doom 3	Source: id Software

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 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 with the third run being recorded.

ASRock 775V88 (PT880 200/400)	79.5

In our last gaming benchmark the ASRock 775V88 takes up its usual position at the back, but is not behind by that much. Certainly this board shows better equivalent performance here than it did with the UT 2004 benchmark.
