Foxconn WinFast 760GXK8MB 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, and since the engine of SiS 760GX is DirectX 8.1 it is unfair to use this software to determine the 3D performance of this chipset. But we’ve used it anyway, since we are in 2005 and there are plenty of DirectX 9.0 games around.
You can check the results of our benchmarking below. All the listed video cards were installed on WinFast 760GXK8MB from Foxconn.
In this software our 128-bit GeForce 4 MX 460 achieved a score 110.94% higher, our 128-bit GeForce MX 4000 achieved a score 122.40% higher, our 64-bit GeForce FX 5200 achieved a score 464.05% higher and our 128-bit GeForce FX 5200 achieved a score 688.02% higher than the integrated graphics from the motherboard being reviewed.
On the other hand, when we installed a Radeon 9800 Pro on this motherboard once again it achieved a performance similar to MSI K8N Neo Platinum using the same video card, meaning that installing a “real” video card can make this motherboard achieve the same performance level of a high-end board.
