Real World (Game) Benchmarks

SOFTWARE: Sisoft Sandra 2002, PCMARK 2002, 3DMARK 2001SE, Quake 3 Arena, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
MadOnion 3DMARK 2001SE
A DirectX benchmark VERY widely used to test many different products such as Video Cards, CPU's Motherboards, and more. We will be using this benchmark to see how the motherboard affects video performance. In the benchmark below, the default settings were used (1024x768x32bit).
Identical performance (allowing for margin of error).
Quake 3 Arena
Another widely used banchmark, which is OpenGL accelerated. We used the "High Quality" setting and bumped the resolution to 1024x768 for these benchmarks.
Pretty self explanitory results (For those who dont see it, the results show practically identical performance between both motherboards).
Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast
This benchmark is based on the Quake3 Engine, but with much more sophistaced pixel/shader engines. We used the High Quality settings with the resolution on 1024x768 as we did in the Quake 3 Benchmarks.
Dejavu, practically identical results.
