ECS AMD690GM-M2 Motherboard Review
Processing Performance
Contents
Using the same methodology of the previous test, we measured processing performance using PCMark05 Professional program. This program gives the results in a specific unit and since it includes video performance on its score, the motherboard with the best video will achieve the best results.
On PCMark05 ECS AMD690GM-M2 achieved the same performance level of MSI K9AGM2 and Abit AN-M2 (GeForce 7025), being 4.58% faster than Foxconn A690GM2MA (AMD 690G) and 13.29% faster than ECS RS485M-M (Radeon Xpress 1100) – which is particularly impressive. The reviewed board lost only to ECS GeForce6100SM-M, which was 4.23% faster.
When we installed our overclocked GeForce 8800 GTS the reviewed motherboard achieved the same performance level of ASUS M2N32-SLI De Luxe, meaning that by installing an add-on video card this motherboard will achieve the same performance level of a high-end motherboard.
