First up, we have an oldie but goodie. Unreal Tournament 2004 (UT2004) may be well past its prime, but is extremely scalable even with today's hardware. Benchmarks with UT2004 turned out a little unexpected though, as the OCZ Reaper HPC consistently scored above 110fps using its default SPD parameters. We've even tried benchmarking on two different motherboards (MSI P6N Diamond, ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus) with the same results. Using the overclocked timings however, yielded a natural linear improvement over the Kingston and AENEON memory. Although this behavior seemed strange, we were able to replicate it, so the results stayed.

The OCZ Reaper HPC also managed to squeeze out a few more frames from Quake 4 when compared with the rest of the competition. However, there were little to no difference between the SPD and OC timings this time around. F.E.A.R. was the only benchmark that the OCZ Reaper HPC memory did not maintain a lead. The honors went to the Kingston HyperX DDR2-1066, but that 1fps difference shouldn't be missed.
