Benchmarks: X2: The Threat, UT2003

X2: The Threat Source: Egosoft

A completely rewritten 3D engine based on DirectX8 encompasses many visual effects such as volumetric Nebulae (gas clouds) that have a real impact in the game (you can hide in them) and many new engine, shield, weapon and explosion effects. Objects cast real dynamic 3D shadows! Dynamic DP3 bump mapping allows a previously unseen level of detail.

X2 The Threat - 640x480
Motherboards FPS Ranking
Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D (925X 200/400) 184.172
MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum (915P 200/400) 173.165
DFI LANParty 875P-T (i875P 200/400) 166.843
ASRock 775V88 (PT880 200/400) 166.333

While there's an appreciable gap between the high-end and low-end in this benchmark (as you would kind of hope there would be), it should be pretty clear that if you're a gamer on a budget you won't be disappointed by going with the ASRock 775V88!

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.

ASRock 775V88 (PT880 200/400) 80.04

The ASRock 775V88 is slightly slower than the competition here but as mentioned before you won't notice it much when gaming. I'm pretty pleased with the performance of the board considering it's entry level.
