3D Performance: 3DMark03

We followed the same methodology described in the previous page, but now running 3Dmark03. Keep in mind that 3DMark03 simulates DirectX 9.0 games, which are fully supported by GeForce 6100 but not by SiS 760GX (which is DirectX 8.1) and VIA K8M800 (which is DirectX 7).

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on PCChips M861G v1.6a.

PCChips M861G

The lousy result achieved by PCChips M861G v1.6a comes from the fact that K8M800 chipset is a DirectX 7 part, not supporting all features provided by 3DMark03, which simulates DirectX 9 games.

Foxconn WinFast 760GXK8MB (SiS 760 GX) was 19.82% faster than PCChips M861G v1.6a and Foxconn WinFast 6100K8MB-RS (GeForce 6100) was 865.77% faster.

A 64-bit GeForce FX 5200 is 876.58% faster than VIA K8M800 and a 128-bit GeForce FX 5200 is 1,259.46% faster.

It was really interesting to see that GeForce 6100 achieved a performance similar to a 64-bit GeForce FX 5200 installed on PCChips M861G v1.6a.
