Unreal Tournament 2003, 800x600

UT2K3 s a real system killer, and can bring many systems to its knees. We used the , which are excellent tools in testing various resolutions and detail levels. We selected the CPU test, which uses the dm-inferno map.

In case you missed it, we used the [H]ard|OCP UT2K3 benchmarking tool's CPU benchmark at 800x600 to bench the CPU. We find that once again the KT400A beats the nForce2 when it comes to raw speed.

Quake 3 Arena, 640x480

It's getting old, we know, but Quake 3 is still a decent benchmark for almost anything. For motherboards and CPUs, we run at the lowest settings and fire away.

Here we see the CPU's ability to produce FPS in the good old Quake III engine. The LanParty pulls ahead by almost 7 FPS.

Jedi Knight 2, 640x480

Finally, we use Jedi Knight II to test with an updated Quake III version. The scores here are a bit confusing - the nForce2 beats out the KT400A in its first gaming benchmark by almost 15 frames per second.
