The 
Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique test 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.

The AOpen i915Pa-PLF comes in third place behind the 
925X/XE motherboards here as we'd expect.
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.

The AOpen i915Pa-PLF also performs quite well in X2: The 
Threat. Looks like this 915 board's a keeper.

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.
