Excellent performance on the AMD side of things, once again, eclipsing the benchmark laid down by a well-tuned VIA K8T890 mainboard. A lack of comparative bandwidth and latency pushes the P4-based score down by over 1,000 marks when compared to a class-leading i925XE's. The breakdowns and can be viewed here and here.



A similar story unfolds in DOOM 3, where there's general benchmark parity with the A9S convertor card and a lack of throughput when benchmarked in standard LGA775 form.



UT2003's results echo what's been written above.
