We used the demo four available on version 1.32 of Quake III to make our benchmarking with this game. We ran this demo three times at the game’s default configuration and we picked the middle value for our comparisons, i.e., we discarded the highest and the lowest values.

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on C51G-M754 from ECS.

Once again the on-board video from ECS C51G-M754 was faster than the on-board video from WinFast 6100K8MB-RS, this time by 14.14%. Really amazing, since both boards use the same chipset.

Under Quake III we’ve seen the same scenario as before: the integrated graphics of GeForce 6100 performed far better than SiS 760 GX and VIA K8M800. ECS C51G-M754 was 175.81% faster than Foxconn WinFast 760GXK8MB (SiS 760 GX) and 240.76% faster than PCChips M861G v1.6a (VIA K8M800).

As we’ve stated before, don’t expect on-board video to have the same performance of an add-on card. As you can see on the chart, a GeForce 6200 TurboCache with 64 MB and 64-bit interface, which is an entry-level video card, was 83.52% faster than GeForce 6100, and a ”true“ GeForce 6200 with 128 MB and 128-bit interface was 107.34% faster than GeForce 6100.
