OpenGL Gaming – Doom 3, Warhammer 40K

Doom 3

Albatron K8X800 ProII Socket 754 Motherboard - Motherboards 42
1024×768. HIGH details, all effects. No anti-aliasing.

In Doom 3 we see the Albatron K8X800 ProII lag behind in performance compared to all the other Athlon 64 boards by almost 4 FPS. 4 FPS may sound trivial, but because VSync is enabled this difference is much more significant. The minimum framerate of 15 FPS is troubling as it makes game play not smooth.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War

Albatron K8X800 ProII Socket 754 Motherboard - Motherboards 43
1280×1024. All effects and details ON / HIGH.

Unlike Doom 3, the Albatron K8X800 ProII performs very well with the best score in this RTS I have seen so far. Like all other systems tested, the Albatron slows down during base skirmishes with poor minimum frame rates.
