DiVX Encoding & Maya 6.0 PLE

DVD to DiVX Encoding

Chaintech Zenith V915P Motherboard Review - Motherboards 36

Chaintech V915P (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 – Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

Here we see no great difference between the time required to encode 12 minutes of DVD video, but Chaintech V915P is a sliver slower than the DDR2 915P and the Athlon 64 system. Extrapolating this data for a full 2-hour movie, the Chaintech V915P will take 4 minutes longer than the 915P using DDR and 2 minutes longer than the Athlon 64.

Maya 6.0 PLE

Chaintech Zenith V915P Motherboard Review - Motherboards 37

Chaintech V915P (i915P) – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR

Intel i915P with DDR2 – Pentium 4 560E, 1GB DDR2

VIA K8T800 Pro – Athlon 64 3200+ (754 pin), 1GB DDR

NVIDIA nForce2 Ultra400 – Athlon XP3200+, 1GB DDR

Here we are using a modified version of SPEC’s Maya 5.0 benchmark and applying it to Alias’ Maya 6.0 Personal Learning Edition. These are not official SPEC results, but still give good comparative results in this professional grade 3D animation package.

Overall, the Chaintech V915P falls behind both the 915P using DDR2 and the VIA K8T800 Pro. It’s really amazing to see DDR2 technology give the 915P such a huge boost in results.
