Unreal Tournament 3
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Unreal Tournament 3 is the latest installment from this famous first person shooter franchise, supporting DirectX 10 graphics when installed on Windows Vista with a DX10 compatible card (which was our case). We upgraded Unreal Tournament 3 to version 1.2 and benchmarked it with the help of HOC UT3 benchmarking utility using the “Containment” demo, disabling anisotropic filtering and running the game at 1024x768. The results are below, in frames per second (FPS).

ECS A790GXM-A Black Series

On this game the on-board video from ECS A790GXM-A Black Series (AMD 790GX) achieved again the same performance as a 64-bit Radeon HD 3450, which is remarkable. The on-board video from the reviewed motherboard was 22.22% faster than the one from Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G (AMD 780G) and 69.23% faster than the one from ECS GF8200A Black Series (NVIDIA GeForce 8200).

Enabling Hybrid CrossFire technology performance increased 47.83% compared to the Radeon HD 3450 alone with the on-board video disabled. This is impressive, especially because you gain this performance boost for free if you have a compatible video card.
