OpenGL Gaming – Doom 3, Warhammer 40K
NOTE:
The following tests are done on three different systems with three different graphics cards. So not only are you going to see differences in platform performance, it will also include variations in video performance. So this is not a straight-forward comparison.
1024×768 – HIGH details.

ABIT AG8 (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR, RX700 Pro 128MB | |

Chaintech V915P (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR, RX700 Pro 128MB | |
|
Intel i915P with DDR2 – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2, RX700 Pro 128MB | |
|
VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR, R9800XT 256MB | |
|
NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 – Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR, R9600XT 128MB |
So far 3DMark 05 and Aquamark are a pretty accurate forecaster of results. Looking at the average frame rate show the ABIT AG8 running the same as the DDR2 version on the ASUS P5GD2 and marginally faster than the Chaintech V915P.
However, looking at the minimum frame rate, we can see that though the ABIT AG8 performed better than the Chaintech, it did little to improve its worst score.

Unlike the other game benchmarks shown so far in this review, we see more differentiation between the different chipsets here Relic’s latest game. The ABIT AG8 posts results significantly slower than the DDR2 915P, but still a bit faster than the non-RAID Chaintech brother.
