3D Mark 2001SE, 1024x768 - Default
3D Mark is one of those benchmark apps that will eat up as much processing power as it can. Benchmarks were run at default 1024x768, as I felt 640x480 is getting to be fairly pointless.
No real difference, but I suppose if "benchmarking" is your cup of tea, the MSI continues to lead the Epox.
Unreal Tournament 2003
I've been playing around with the retail version of UT2K3 for quite sometime now, and have been pretty impressed with the graphics. It's a real system killer, and can bring many pre-2002 killer rigs to its knees. We used the scripts written by , which are excellent tools in testing various resolutions and detail levels. We selected the CPU test, which uses the dm-inferno map.
Dead even this time around. Neither board will let you down if gaming is your thing.
Quake 3 Arena, 640x480 - Fastest
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.
It's not a large difference, but the Epox ends it's benchmark losing streak by pulling out a win here.
Jedi Knight 2, 640x480 - Fastest
As with Quake 3, the Epox holds down the fort again. To be honest, both boards are essentially the same when it comes down to the numbers game. One thing the K7N2G has that the 8RDA+ doesn't is the IGP, so let's see how that does.

MSI K7N2G-ILSR: MSI pulls no punches with their flagship nForce 2 motherboard. Featuring almost every conceivable technology available for motherboards, they're doing everything they can to standout on paper. Let's see how it does in reality.
