Benchmarks: PCMark04, 3DMark2001

PCMark04 Source: FutureMark

The latest version of the popular PCMark series, PCMark04 is an application-based benchmark and a premium tool for measuring overall PC performance. It uses portions of real applications instead of including whole applications or using specifically created code. This allows PCMark04 to maintain a smaller installation size while still giving accurate results.

3DMark2001 Source: FutureMark

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, 3DMark 2001 SE continues to provide a good overall system benchmark. 3DMark2001 SE was created in co-operation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark2001SE:
Motherboards: Points Ranking
Albatron PX925XE Pro-R (925XE 200/533) 22419
Gigabyte GA-8ANXP-D (i925X 200/533) 23249
MSI 915P Neo2 Platinum (i915P 200/533) 21984
DFI LANParty 875P-T (i875P 200/400) 22441

VIA PT894 Ref Motherboard (PT894 200/533) 21530
AOpen i915Pa-PLF (915P 200/400) 22554
Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI Royal (NF4-SLI 200/533) 23047
ECS RS400-A (RS400 200/400 Onboard Video) 4808
ECS RS400-A (RS400 200/400 X800 XT) 20408

The onboard videocard scores 4808 in 3DMark2001 which isn't too bad I guess. A score of 20K with a X800 XT is alright, although the board does come in last place.
