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 supported by GeForce 6100-405 and GeForce 7025-630a, but it isn’t supported by Radeon Xpress 1100 nor by AMD 690G.

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 achieved by Abit AN-M2 using a real video card installed and also to compare it to other motherboards with on-board video.

You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on Abit AN-M2.

Abit AN-M2

Here Abit AN-M2 was 14.43% faster than ECS GeForce6100SM-M and 51.98% faster than ECS RS485M-M (ATI Radeon Xpress 1100). Motherboards based on AMD 690G were faster, though: Foxconn A690GM2MA was 6.36% faster, MSI K9AGM2-FIH was 38.36% faster and ECS AMD690GM-M2 (AMD 690G) was 38.39% faster.
 
On this program our GeForce 6200 with 64-bit memory interface and TurboCache technology was 76% faster than Abit AN-M2.

When we installed our overclocked GeForce 8800 GTS on the reviewed board it achieved the same performance level of ASUS M2N32-SLI De Luxe, what is great.
