| 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.
Similarly to what we’ve done on our WinFast 6100K8MA-RS review, we compared ECS RS482-M (Radeon Xpress 200) on-board video performance with the performance of other video cards we had available here in our lab: GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB, 128 bits from Leadtek), a GeForce 6200 (128 MB, 128-bit interface from Leadtek) and a GeForce 6200 TurboCache with 64 MB and 64-bit interface (from XFX).
Of course we compared the performance of Radeon Xpress 200 with its main rival, GeForce 6100 from NVIDIA.
3DMark2001 SE measures 3D performance by making DirectX 8.1 simulations.
You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on ECS RS482-M. We also included the results for Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS, which is a mainstream motherboard based on nForce 4 Ultra chipset.

As you can see, Radeon Xpress 200 achieved a performance similar to its main competitor, GeForce 6100.
All tested video cards beat Radeon Xpress 200 on-board video used by ECS RS482-M.
When we installed a GeForce 6600 GT, ECS RS482-M achieved the same performance of Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS, which is, as we mentioned earlier, a mainstream motherboard based on nForce 4 Ultra chipset.
