Abit AG8 Review

Date: 2005-2-15

[Abstract]
   The first thing I have to say about the ABIT AG8 is that it is the best overclocking 915P motherboard we have tested on spective so far. It was able to do an amazing 261MHz clock (1044MHz bus ...

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.

Doom 3

Abit AG8 Review

1024x768 - 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.

Abit AG8 Review

1280x1024 Medium details. Unit Occlusion ON.

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

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