| 3D Performance: 3DMark2001 SE |
One of the best ways to measure the performance of a PC is through 3D games, since they usually pull the maximum power from the motherboard, memory, CPU, video card and hard disk drive. We chose five programs for measuring the 3D performance of the motherboard being reviewed: 3DMark2001 SE, 3DMark03, 3DMark05, Doom 3 and Quake III Arena. The motherboards with SLI feature were tested twice, one with SLI enabled and another without SLI configuration.
3DMark2001 SE
3DMark2001 SE simulates DirectX 8.1 games. We used this program to see how the motherboard being reviewed acts running games from this generation. You can find the results below.

Under normal mode ECS C19-A SLI achieved a performance similar to the majority of motherboards included in our tests, being faster than DFI LanParty UT 915P-T12 (Intel i915P) DDR2/DDR, Albatron PX915P Pro (Intel i915P) PCI-E/DDR, ECS 865PE-A7 (Intel i865PE) AGP/DDR, ECS 915P-A (Intel i915P) AGP-Express/DDR2 and PCChips Tidalwave T18 (Intel i915P) AGP-Pro/DDR2.
We included ECS C19-A SLI results with SLI for you to compare the performance difference you may expect when enabling SLI on this motherboard. As you can see, the performance measured by 3DMark2001 SE increased only 1.93% when we enabled SLI and we cannot consider this performance increase considerable. This result was expected, since older games aren’t optimized to use SLI.
Comparing the results among SLI-enabled motherboards (see table below), ECS C19-A SLI achieved a performance similar to other motherboards we tested.
