ECS RS482-M Motherboard Review
3D Performance: 3DMark03
Contents
We followed the same methodology described in the previous page, but now running 3Dmark03. Keep in mind that 3DMark03 simulates DirectX 9.0 games, which is fully supported by GeForce 6100 and by Radeon Xpress 200.
You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on ECS RS482-M.
| 3Dmark03 (Build 3.6.0) | Score | Difference |
| Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS (nForce 4 Ultra) + GeForce 6600 GT | 8387 | +457.65% |
| GeForce 6600 GT (128 MB, 128 bits) | 8377 | +456.98% |
| GeForce 6200 (128 MB, 128 bits) | 4069 | +170.55% |
| GeForce 6200 TurboCache (64 MB, 64 bits) | 2485 | +65.23% |
| ECS RS482-M (Radeon Xpress 200 – RS482 + SB400) on-board | 1504 | |
| Foxconn WinFast 6100K8MA-RS (GeForce 6100 + nForce 410) on-board | 1412 | -6.52% |
On this test on-board video from Radeon Xpress 200 (RS482) was 6.52% faster than the on-board video from the WinFast 6100K8MA-RS (GeForce 6100).
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 achieved the same performance of Foxconn WinFast NF4UK8AA-8EKRS, which is, as we mentioned earlier, a mainstream motherboard based on nForce 4 Ultra chipset.
