Benchmarks I

Sandra

Although only theoretical tests the Sandra benchmarks provide a way of comparing basic performance. Rather than displaying numerous screen shots here the graphs show the resultant scores. Running the benchmark on you own machine you will be able to compare our results with your own system and the Sandra provided benchmarks for other equipment.















We can see that the P4G8X produces slightly better results than the DFI motherboard; this is a trend that continues throughout the other tests. If you apply the improvement to the results we achieved when comparing the DFI motherboard to the Asus P4T with 4200 Rambus the two boards will be almost identical. Theoretically it seems the P4G8X is a real match for the P4T, that is until the boards are overclocked, and then the P4G8X wipes the floor with the P4T!

SATA is still in its infancy, but is interesting to note that hard drive performance seemed to reduce on the P4G8X as the board was overclocked. The SATA controller although linked to the PCI bus, which was locked at 33Mhz in the bios did not seem to cope very well with the changes. The DFI board with its non raid SATA connection was better than the Asus.
