Benchmarks - 3DMark2005/2006

With its driver 8.33, we ran the board against the rest of the older generation chipset. The ECS AMD690GM-M2 scored slightly lower than the EPoX. Both beats the rest of the boards in 3D performance.

In 3Dmark06, the ECS AMD690GM-M2 scored 307 marks. That is comparable to the ALiveNF4G-DVI board based on NF6100+410. The EPoX scored 311, slightly higher by 4 points.

Comparing the ECS RS485M-M of 168 points versus 311 points obtained using the EPoX board, we see a jump of ~85%.

The results shows that integrated graphics are not really meant for 3D demanding games. In fact, in the next few pages, we will skip all tests of 3D games using the integrated graphics as all of them will not gartner even 5 fps in games like Riddick, DOOM3 etc.
