Processing Performance

We measured the motherboard processing performance through PCMark04 software. We included a high-end motherboard (MSI K8N Neo Platinum) in the comparison, to check the performance of the Foxconn WinFast 760GXK8MB compared to a high-end motherboard. We also installed a Gigabyte Radeon 9800 Pro on the board being reviewed to see if by disabling its on-board video and installing the same video card we used together with the motherboard from MSI the board from Foxconn would be able to reach the same performance level of a high-end motherboard.

The results were quite interesting. Using its on-board video, WinFast 760GXK8MB from Foxconn was 24.41% slower than K8N Neo Platinum from MSI, but when installed our Radeon 9800 Pro on the reviewed motherboard, its performance was 32.72% greater, achieving the same performance level of MSI K8N Neo Platinum, which is a high-end motherboard. So, you can have this motherboard working at the same performance level of a high-end model by installing a “real” video card on it.
