Benchmarks: QIII Arena, UT2003

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, even after 3 years it's still able to bring a cutting edge system to its knees.

3.	8RGA+ - 200/400	117.2

Even though we're using the onboard GeForce4 MX, the 8RGA+ still does pretty well for itself.

Unreal Tournament 2003 Demo	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.

2.	8RGA+ - 166/333	60.67
3.	8RGA+ - 200/400	65.92

UT2003 is not as kind on the integrated GeForce4 MX. If you want to play UT2003, you'll want to use something a bit better then the onboard graphics.
