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.
With the settings turned up to enjoy a full UT3 experience we can see that at even at the lower resolutions we still have problems staying above the magic 30FPS. Still the card did push through and was not really that bad for gaming with UT3.
For such a small card at a value price segment there is no complaints here.
