The
Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique benchmark as it represents a real-world
gaming experience. It contains the single player "Eagle's Talon" mission from
the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will
measure your system's performance in the standard frames per second format. The
benchmark was run with audio disabled.

At
640x480 resolutions, the systems are not videocard limited. In these
tests we see the i875P based DFI LANParty 875P-T brings up the rear
with a 6 FPS loss over the best results.
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), 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.

It looks
like X2: The Threat likes the bandwidth available on the 925X based Gigabyte
motherboard a bit more than the i875P based DFI LANParty 875P-T. The 875P-T's
showing is still pretty good though.

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.

While the
DFI LANParty 875P-T motherboard is slightly slower than a motherboard based
on the new 925X chipset, it's not as far behind as we might have first
thought.
