DFI X48 LT T2R: Floats like a Butterfly…

Unreal Tournament 3

The highly anticipated Unreal Tournament 3 landed on our PC's hard drive a while ago and has not failed to deliver the ultra fast FPS shooter we all expected. A slick 3D engine that provides ultra fast-paced action requires a system capable of sustaining frame rates during periods of intense online gaming action. Unlike other modern 3D gaming engines, Unreal's code is sensitive to memory performance and notable gains can be realized from tweaking memory bandwidth and chipset performance levels.

The DFI board performs admirably in UT3 when pitched against the EVGA 780i reference board. There really is no better solution for this game than a DDR3 system, but considering the price to performance ratio of the DDR2 boards, these scores are not bad at all for DFI.
