ALi MAGiK 1: The Athlon gets a second DDR platform

MDK2, although played from a third person perspective, shares many of the same characteristics as your everyday first person shooter.  There is a strong focus on textures and not too much of attention is paid to polygon count, making MDK2 a benchmark that will soon be indicative of games of the past, not those of the future where polygon complexity will increase dramatically.

Again, the MAGiK 1 is approximately 5% slower than the AMD 760 when used with PC2100 DDR SDRAM and, once again, when used with PC1600 DDR SDRAM the performance drops to below that of a KT133. 

Once again, MDK2 causes the graphics card, in this case a GeForce2 GTS, to be memory bandwidth limited thus causing the nearly identical performance figures.
