Results- 3D Mark Vantage and Cinebench 11.5
3D Mark VantageWe take a quick look at this benchmark to make sure that the data is getting to the graphics subsystem as it should. Considering how much better PCI-E is as compared to AGP, AGP 2.0, and AGP 3.0 in terms of consistent performance and compatibility, this is tested more to make sure that everything works rather than proclaim a performance king.
The 890GX solution again squeaks out a win, but it is far from a landslide (or even that appreciable). Both boards are working as they should.
Cinebench 11.5
Though memory bandwidth does have an effect on this particular benchmark, the overall stream performance differences between the two boards were minimal. This should give us a good idea if memory performance between the two boards is in fact evenly matched.
Results are well within spitting distance.
