ECS RS482-M Motherboard Review
3D Performance: Quake III
Contents
We used the demo four available on version 1.32 of Quake III to make our benchmarking with this game. We ran this demo three times at 1024x768x32 resolution and all image quality settings on their default conFiguretion and we picked the middle value for our comparisons, i.e., we discarded the highest and the lowest values.
You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on ECS RS482-M.
| Quake III – demo four | Score | Difference |
| Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS (nForce 4 Ultra) + GeForce 6600 GT | 331.8 | +231.80% |
| GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB, 128 bits) | 313.7 | +213.70% |
| GeForce 6200 (128 MB, 128 bits) | 268.5 | +168.50% |
| GeForce 6200 TurboCache (64 MB, 64 bits) | 196 | +96.00% |
| Foxconn WinFast 6100K8MA-RS (GeForce 6100 + nForce 410) on-board | 107.7 | +7.70% |
| ECS RS482-M (Radeon Xpress 200 – RS482 + SB400) on-board | 100 |
On this test the on-board video produced by Radeon Xpress 200 (RS482) was 7.70% slower than the on-board video produced by GeForce 6100 (WinFast 6100K8MA-RS).
All tested video cards beat Radeon Xpress 200 on-board video used by ECS RS482-M.
When we installed a GeForce 6600 GT, ECS RS482-M was 5.77% slower than Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS, which is, as we mentioned earlier, a mainstream motherboard based on nForce 4 Ultra chipset
