3DMark06
is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A
fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and
gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC
performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D
feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0
graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU
tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next
generation gaming performance today.

The ECS KA1-MVP Extreme comes in behind the ABIT AN8 32X
in 3DMark06, but not by much.
Real-time
editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system,
shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state
of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality
and the Ubisoft's Regulator demo was run.

The ECS KA1-MVP Extreme motherboard is a great
alternative for gamers who are looking for fast performance on a budget.
Extensive
development has gone into the X³ engine, making full use of DirectX 9
technology, to create dramatic visual effects and stunningly realistic
starships. Coupled with the massively enhanced A.L. (Artificial Life) system,
X³: REUNION will present players with an ever changing, evolving universe; where
a players actions really can shape the future of the universe.

Unreal
Tournament 2004 is the sequel to the highly popular UT2003 and uses the very
latest Unreal Engine technology. Unreal Tournament 2004 employs the use of
Vertex and Pixel Shaders and it's recommended that you use a DirectX 9 videocard
if you plan to play competitively.

Hopefully as drivers mature, ATi will be able to extract
more performance out of the CrossFire Xpress 1600 chipset.
