We used the latest versions of
Comanche and Quake 3 Arena. Quake 3 may be a little
outdated, but still gives a good idea of memory bandwidth
performance in a system. All tests were run at default
and overclocked settings.

The gaming
benchmarks show the DFI LANParty motherboard outdoing its
competitor at both default and overclocked settings this
time around. These scores show that if you're in the
market for an nForce2 motherboard whether it be the original
nForce2 chipset or the Ultra version, it is best when paired
with a CPU that runs synchronously with the memory
The DFI LANParty
paired with the new nForce2 Ultra chipset seems to be quite
a duo here as it once again outperforms its brethren in the
Commanche 4 benchmark. While the gains are minimal and
ultimately unnoticeable to the user, it at least shows that
the DFI board is in line with the performance we've come to
expect from nVIDIA's nForce2 chipset. Let's take a
look at one more 3D gaming environment, Unreal Tournament
2003, and the ratings for the DFI LANParty nForce2 Ultra
motherboard.
