The overall score does not increase much here since 3DMark05 is much more of a pure videocard benchmark.
We do see some nice increases in the CPU portion of the benchmark
due to overclocking though.
The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark
as it represents a real-world gaming experience. It contains the single player
"Eagle's Talon" mission from the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This
DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will measure your system's performance in the
standard frames per second format. The benchmark was run with audio
disabled.

There's a gap of 24 FPS between the stock setup and our 3.05GHz maximum overclock! It's nice to see a tangible result for
your efforts.

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.

A very healthy increase due to overclocking in UT2003. If you're
a gamer, overclocking really does pay off!
