VIA Apollo KX133 Athlon Chipset - Part 2

Here is where the KX133 truly begins to shine. UnrealTournament is very texture dependent and thus benefits greatly from the faster memory bus of the KX133. The performance improvement here is quite hefty at a full 22%. The KX133 with the 133MHz memory bus frequency helps to bridge the performance gap between the Athlon and the Pentium III platform here.

We get a similar boost at 1024 x 768 x 32, but this time the improvement is "only" 19%. Not bad for a chipset that's cheaper than the AMD 750. Once again, because of the KX133, the Athlon is now much more competitive in situations such as this one.
