SiS 771 Reference Board Review

3D Performance: Quake III

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 configuration 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 SiS 771 reference board.

Here the on-board video provided by Radeon Xpress 1100 again achieved practically the double of the performance achieved by SiS 771. The two low-end PCI Express video cards smoked again SiS 771: GeForce 6200 TC (64 MB, 64-bit) was 298.97% faster and GeForce 6200 (128 MB, 128-bit) was 416.46% faster than the on-board video of the reviewed motherboard.

This time when we installed a GeForce 7800 GTX on the reviewed card it didn’t achieve the same performance level of an ASUS M2N32-SLI De Luxe with the same video card installed: the motherboard from ASUS was 28.92% faster.
