The other game on test is Unreal Tournament III. This is a game that scales well as clockspeed increases.

The onboard GPU manages to provide almost completely smooth playback once the graphics settings are set to the very lowest available levels. At medium and high settings the performance simply doesn't cut it.



Using the GTX260 it seems that bottlenecking isn't as much of an issue as we saw with Far Cry 2. Performance is solid but not spectacular and almost seems like another combination of limitations caused by raw CPU performance and that 4x PCIe slot. Overclocking provided a small boost in performance.
