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. Higher numbers are better.

The Intel Pentium D 840 does poorly on this benchmark,
falling behind even the Pentium 4 540. If I had to speculate why, I'd guess
memory bandwidth on the 955X Express board was the culprit. Overclocking the
processor goes a long way towards rectifying the deficit.

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. Higher numbers are
better.

Again, the Intel Pentium D 840 fails to keep up in the
gaming benchmarks, falling behind the AMD processors to the tune of over a
hundred FPS in the flyby test. Overclocking gives a reasonable boost to the
processor's abilities.
