3D Performance: 3DMark05

We again followed the same methodology described previously, but now running 3DMark05. This program measures 3D performance by simulating DirectX 9.0c games, i.e., using Shader 3.0. This programming model is used by the latest games and is supported by GeForce 6100 but not by Radeon Xpress 200 (RS482).

It isn’t fair to use this program to evaluate 3D performance of motherboards with on-board video, as they achieve a very low score on this program. We ran it anyway, basically to see the performance ECS RS482-M achieved using a real video card installed.

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on ECS RS482-M.

3Dmark05 (Build 1.2.0)

ECS RS482-M (Radeon Xpress 200 - RS482 + SB400) on-board

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 was 5.7% slower than Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS, which is, as we mentioned earlier, a mainstream motherboard based on nForce 4 Ultra chipset.
