Benchmarks II

It was decided to benchmark real games performance using UT2003 rather than the tried and tested Quake 3, because I personally felt 200-300fps figures in Q3 benchmarks were loosing their meaning. UT is one the latest games, using a much newer graphics engine, which is far more taxing on modern systems. Benchmarks were performed using the built in benchmark facility. Lets take a look at the difference between the two boards here:

UT2003 In Game Benchmark: Flyby

UT2003 In Game Benchmark: Botmatch

Very surprising results here given the results of the 3dmark test. The KX7-333 actually beats the KD7-RAID in every UT2k3 test, usually only by a few FPS, but by as much as 20fps in the 1280x960 flyby test.
