Benchmarks II
Just a little behind the pace
set by the EPoX nForce2 Ultra 400 and a reasonable distance in front of
the KT600. We must remember that the comparative KT600 was benchmarked
using an immature BIOS. Its results may not be indicative of present
performance.
Gaming and 3DMark 2001SE.
A detailed examination of
the results shows that the DFI trails the EPoX in the
bandwidth-intensive tests. We couldn't, however, tell the performance difference when
watching this most commonly used benchmark. Bottom line here is that the
DFI was able to loop 3DMark hour after hour with low latencies employed.
Stability is paramount.
Time to get serious with
Sam. SS2's Sierra De Chiapas demo is the backdrop to this lovely
benchmark. Both anisotropic filtering and antialiasing are disabled.
Again, only benchmarks
will be able to differentiate the nForce2 boards. The DFI Canterwood and
3.2GHz P4 reign supreme.
Comanche 4 now.
Another solid showing by
the DFI. It's hot on the heels of the EPoX.
