We followed the same methodology described in the previous page, but now running 3DMark03. 3DMark03 simulates DirectX 9.0 games, which is fully supported by the new graphics engine used by SiS 771, Mirage 3.

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on SiS 771 reference board.

Here SiS 771 on-board graphics also achieved a lousy performance. Radeon X1100 achieved almost the double of the performance obtained by SiS 771. The two low-end PCI Express video cards we installed smoked SiS 771: GeForce 6200 TC (64 MB, 64-bit) was 232.73% faster and GeForce 6200 (128 MB, 128-bit) was 435.32% faster than the on-board video produced by SiS 771.

When we installed a GeForce 7800 GTX on SiS 771 reference board it achieved the same performance level of an ASUS M2N32-SLI De Luxe with the same video card installed.
