In 16-bit mode the KT266A chipset has a very marginal lead but in the 32-bit mode it ties the 8K7A AMD 760 board. This also kind of lends itself to the idea that the AGP driver or bios may need a little tweaking for optimum performance. After all, this is only a reference board and we can assume that these numbers can only go higher.
Just as in the Quake III test, this completely amazes me. The KT266A reference memory performance is showing a 24% advantage in FPU and a 31% advantage in ALU performance on the AMD 760 chipset! Against the SiS 735, that difference is at 32% and 28%!! I was really blown away by these results. I had seen tests scores similar to this from VIA, but I had to see them first to believe them.
Just showing that the chipset has no real effect on these score, the CPU benchmarks shows no difference in the three contenders here.
