Gaming Performance
One of the best tests for chipset/memory controller performance has been today's 3D games. To kick things off we've selected the latest Serious Sam demo available from Croteam's website. The benchmark was run with the Extreme Settings add-on executed at 640 x 480 x 32 using the first built in demo.

147.9There is absolutely no tangible performance difference between any of the top three performers (we're dealing with gaps of less than 3%), and again the 735 is approximately 10% slower than the KT266A/KT333.
Our last choice for a benchmark is the Unreal Performance Test 2002. This build of the Unreal Engine is a far evolution of the engine found in Unreal Tournament and is being developed as the base for games such as Unreal Tournament II and Unreal 2. For more information on the benchmark feel free to read about it in our first two tests involving it here and here.

Even using a next-generation gaming benchmark such as the UPT2002 the results do not change at all. With the results being virtually identical across all applications and tests we chose to severely limit the number of benchmarks run to save us time and to save you boredom from flipping through pages upon pages of < 2% differences in performance.
Onto the conclusion, shall we?
