Unreal Tournament 2003
UT2K3 is a real system killer, and can bring many systems to its knees. We used the [H]ardocp UT2003 Benchmarking utility version 2.1, which are excellent tools in testing various resolutions and detail levels. We selected the CPU test, which uses the dm-inferno map.
Once again both boards put in good numbers and once again they are neck and neck until the K7N2 Delta-ILSR is overclocked. Nothing surprising here.
Quake 3 Arena, 640x480
It's getting old, I 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.
No surprises here
Jedi Knight 2, 640x480
Jedi Knight II stresses the system more than Quake III Arena but the nForce 2 400 Ultra chipset is more than up to the task. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, both boards are neck and neck.
3D Mark 2003
We're still up in the air about 3D Mark 2003 here at VL and I for one don't particularly trust what it tells me. But it is useful for the CPU tests.
Again no surprises here. Both the NF7-S and the K7N2 Delta are on par with each other, neither one having a great advantage over the other. And once again when overclocked the scores take a healthy boost.

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR: Whilst the original nForce2 supports DDR400, it doesn't officially support 400 FSB and as we have come to learn, the best performance can be found when running your FSB and memory synchronously. This is where the nForce 2 Ultra 400 steps in.
