MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R Motherboard Review
MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R Motherboard Review  - PCSTATS
The question as we see it is whether or not MSI can provide the gear necessary to convert die hard overclockers who usually have a lot of brand loyalty (ie. Asus, Abit, Epox).

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

2. Pentium 4 3.0C/AOpen i865PE (200/400) 459.7
3. Pentium 4 3.0C/Albatron i865PE (200/400) 457

2. Pentium 4 3.0C/AOpen i865PE (200/400) 113.6
3. Pentium 4 3.0C/Albatron i865PE (200/400) 121.1
4. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i865PE (200/400) 122.6

7. Pentium 4 3.0C/MSI i875P (230/460) 142.7

PAT optimizes the memory controller and Quake III can definitely feel the difference! It's funny to see the two i875P boards perform identical.

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.

The performance differences in UT2003 are much smaller then with Quake III Arena.
