To test the Abit board's 3D
gaming performance, we
used the latest versions of Comanche 4 and Quake 3 Arena.
Quake 3 may be a little outdated, but still gives a good
idea of memory bandwidth and CPU performance in a system. All
tests were run at default and overclocked settings.

Once again the
Abit board manages to outdo the other two boards at default
settings, but falls a bit short at the overclocked setting.
Keep in mind we used the same memory timings for each of the
boards we tested. With a little more tweaking, we probably
could have taken the NF7S a bit higher...
Here the Abit
board leads at both settings, but more importantly we must realize
that these are very respectable numbers and are some of the
best yet we've seen for the Athlon. Keep in mind that
this great performance can be had a much lower price point
than a comparable Pentium 4 system. Let's see how
things pan out with a leading edge gaming engine: Unreal
Tournament 2003.
