Unreal Tournament 3 was released in November 2007, making it by some margin, the oldest title tested here, but it still remains very popular as an online FPS and is still the most recent title of the Epic series. Using the Unreal Engine 3, the game is traditionally CPU limited, and provides an interesting insight into CPU gaming performance, especially as a large number of titles have since utilised its friendly game engine since.
Immediately you'll notice that at the highest settings at 1680x1050 0xAA 0xAF the frame rates are extremely high.
Thus, all the boards will give a super-slick playable experience at these settings. However, as mentioned above, the game relies quite a lot on raw CPU power and this seems to have created the largest disparity in the boards seen so far. As we've become accustomed to, the ASUS P8P67 tops the charts again, giving well over 200 FPS. Overclocking yeids a small 6 FPS gain, and the difference down to the Foxconn board is just 5 FPS, a tiny percentage at such high frames per second.
The ECS P67H2-A doesn't fare so well, being a whole 33 frames per second behind the ASUS P8P67, equating to roughly 15% drop in performance. This shows the design of the P8P67 fares particularly well in CPU intensive games, as it has done throughout all the tests.
