Gaming Performance - Unreal Tournament 2003 Flyby 1024x768x32 - High Quality Settings Jetway MiniQ 450 Shuttle SB51G Soltek Qbic EQ2000 183.9 146.2 145.9 | 0 | 37 | 74 | 110 | 147 | 184 | 221

For whatever reason, the MiniQ's SiS 651 chipset seems to offer significantly higher performance than the 845GE in our first two gaming benchmarks. The Shuttle and the Soltek systems perform virtually identically to each another.

Gaming Performance - Quake III Arena Demo Four 1024x768x32 - High Quality Settings Jetway MiniQ 450 Shuttle SB51G Soltek Qbic EQ2000 281.4 259.8 258.1 | 0 | 56 | 113 | 169 | 225 | 281 | 338

We see similar performance standings under Quake III Arena.

Moving to Jedi Knight, the MiniQ no longer holds its incredible performance advantage, and we're left with the Shuttle at the top by a small margin.

We finish off the gaming tests with Comanche 4, where the Shuttle continues to hang on to its small lead.
