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..

Quake III Arena Fastest demo001 (SYSTEM)
Processor FPS Ranking
1. 8RGA+ - 200/400 416.2
2. GA-7VT600 - 200/400

348.8

3. GA-7VT600 - 215/430 N/A

Quake III Arena Fastest nv15demo (CPU STRESS)
Processor FPS Ranking
1. 8RGA+ - 200/400 118.4
2. GA-7VT600 - 200/400 99
3. GA-7VT600 - 215/430 N/A

Here the 8RGA+ is heads and shoulders faster then the Gigabyte GA-7VT600. I think this is a driver problem, hopefully VIA will address this soon! On a side note we were not able to run Quake III with the system overclocked.

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 640x480 Flyby

As we saw with 3DMark2001, at stock speeds the KT600 based Gigabyte GA-7VT600 is slower than the Epox 8RGA+.
