Benchmarks - 3DMark2005/2006

We paired up a ASUS 7600GT with both board and loaded them with Forceware 84.21. The board scored 5960 as compared to the rest of the boards. Again, if we put in the consideration of the lower clk speed, the score is well inline with the rest of the boards.

We also tested the board with a single X1600XT and Dual X1600XT in CrossFire mode. The scores are 5478 and 9301 respectively.

In 3Dmark06, again with integrated video, it scored 213 vs a score of 273 we have for our Conroe945G-DVI board with a X6800. With an external 7600GT card, the score seems to be on par with its big brothers. This is largely due to the fact that 3Dmark06 score is highly determined by the CPU (e.g. a dual core will give substantially better results than a single core). On the other hand, 3Dmark05 is more GPU intensive.

We also tested the board with a single X1600XT and Dual X1600XT in CrossFire mode. The scores are 2470 and 4309 respectively.
