Benchmarks: Quake III Arena, UT2003

Quake III Arena

Source: ID Software

Quake III Arena is a First Person Shooter (FPS) that revolutionized gaming as we know it. Using multiple light sources and having graphics textures that can fill videocards.

6. Pentium 4 3.0C/Epox i865PE (235/376) 139.4

At stock the Epox 4PDA2+ is slightly faster than the other i865PE competition, but slightly slower than the i875P's. I doubt you'd notice the difference when gaming though.

Unreal Tournament 2003

Source: Epic

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.

UT2003 backs up the results we received from Quake III. The Epox 4PDA2+ is certainly one fast i865PE motherboard!
