After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

Unreal Tournament 3
Unreal Tournament 3 is a game set sometime in the future that is all about killing. There really is no real story line or single player type game. What UT3 lacks in story line it makes up in all around great gaming fun. The multiplayer is second to none and happens to be a great LAN Party game.
For benchmarking all setting was turned up to the highest setting of 5. V-Sync and SmoothFrames was turned off to get the maximum gaming Frame Per Second. Post Processing was kicked up to intense for a super awesome gaming experience. The level used for the benches is CarbonFire loaded with fun loving bots, with great one liner comments.
UT3 is no match for any of these cards, but the GTX 470 SOC shows that overclock is in full effect over the reference GTX 470. Once again the GTX 470 SOC does fall behind the GTX 480 and at some resolutions it is a match for the Radeon 5870.
