3DMark05 measures performance by simulating DirectX 9.0c games, i.e., using Shader 3.0 model. This programming model is used by games like Far Cry. This programming model is used by GeForce series 6 and 7 from NVIDIA and Radeon X1000 series from ATI.

You can find the results below.

On this test ECS C19-A SLI achieved a performance similar to the majority of motherboards we tested, being faster than DFI LanParty 875P-T (Intel i875P) AGP/DDR, ECS 865PE-A7 (Intel i865PE) AGP/DDR, DFI LanParty 925X-T2 (Intel i925X) PCI-E/DDR2, ECS 915P-A (Intel i915P) PCI-E/DDR, DFI LanParty UT 915P-T12 (Intel i915P) DDR2, PCChips Tidalwave T18 (Intel i915P) AGP-Pro/DDR2 and ECS 915P-A (Intel i915P) AGP-Express/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. Enabling SLI we had a 73.21% performance increase on this test.

Comparing the results among SLI-enabled motherboards (see table below), ECS C19-A SLI achieved a performance similar to other motherboards we tested.
