Biostar TA785GE 128 M Motherboard Review
3DMark Vantage
Contents
3DMark Vantage measures Shader 4.0 (i.e., DirectX 10) performance. We ran this program under its “Entry” profile, which basically disables all image quality enhancements and set resolution to 1024×768.
On this program Biostar TA785GE 128M achieved a performance 3.73% higher than ECS A785GM-M (AMD 785G) and 3.50% higher than Sapphire PI-AM2RS780G (AMD 780G). ECS A790GXM-A (AMD 790GX with 128 MB) was, however, 22.93% faster.
The good news is that the on-board video from the reviewed motherboard was 27.26% faster than a Radeon HD 3450 for DirectX 10 gaming.
Enabling Radeon HD 3450 to work together with AMD 785G under CrossFire mode increased gaming performance by 71.64%. This is fantastic, because this 70%+ performance boost is gained absolutely for free.
