CPU Tests
Next, lets take a look at a few CPU-based tests, to see how well a CPU is allowed to operate on this board .Kribibench v1.1
Not much separates the two nForce4-based solutions in Kribibench, although they both find themselves a little way behind the Radeon Xpress board.
LAME MP3 Encoding
The Gigabyte board shaves a second off the time posted by ECS' nForce4 Ultra board, but can't keep up with the EQS Radeon Xpress offering.
Realstorm
Realstorm makes use of raytracing in real-time - Functionality that can't be hardware accelerated on a video card, so all work is done on the CPU.
Nothing to choose really between all three parts here, as they all offer basically the same level of performance.
