3D Performance: 3DMark2001 SE

We were very curious on how the integrated video from SiS 760GX would perform. We decided to compare SiS 760GX performance with the performance of other entry-level video cards we had available here in our lab: GeForce MX 4000 (128-bit 64 MB version from Chaintech), GeForce 4 MX 460 (128 MB 128-bit from ABIT), GeForce FX 5200 (128 MB 64-bit version from Leadtek) and GeForce FX 5200 (128 MB 128-bit version from XFX). We also installed our Radeon 9800 Pro from Gigabyte to check if, by installing this video card, the board would achieve the same 3D performance level of a high-end motherboard (MSI K8N Neo Platinum with nForce 3-250Gb, in our case).

3Dmark2001 SE measures 3D performance by making DirectX 8.1 simulations. SiS 760GX engine, called Mirage 2, is DirectX 8.1, so this would be the best software to measure the 3D performance of this integrated chipset.

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on WinFast 760GXK8MB from Foxconn.

Foxconn WinFast 760GXK8MB

As you can see, the integrated graphics of SiS 760GX is not a great performer, beaten by all entry-level video cards we had available here in our lab. That was not a surprise, since on-board video tends to achieve a very low performance. Our 64-bit GeForce FX 5200 was 158.72% faster, our 128-bit GeForce MX 4000 was 274.68% faster, our 128-bit GeForce FX 5200 was 280.44% faster and our 128-bit GeForce 4 MX 460 was 286.70% faster than the integrated graphics from the motherboard being reviewed.

On the other hand, when we installed a Radeon 9800 Pro on this motherboard it achieved a performance similar to MSI K8N Neo Platinum using the same video card, meaning that installing a “real” video card can make this motherboard achieve the same performance level of a high-end board.
