ASUS A7N8X nForce2 Mainboard Review (6)
Overclocker 27 Oct 2002

Benchmarking

Quake 3 Demo 001

The test is done based on Q3 Demo 001 at 1024x768x32. The ASUS A7N8X performs exceptionally well in the benchmark test when it runs in Dual DDR. If it is running with a single DDR333 (512M) or dual DDR333 (2 x 256M), the performance seems to be similar to those of the KT400 mainboards. The EPoX 8K9A2+ outperforms the rest in this category with the ABIT AT7 Max2 very close behind. In fact, during this test, it's necessary to run at least 3 - 5 times to get a stable score. When we run it at 1T cmd Ultra, the whole system hung and rebooted by itself. We tuned it down to 2T cmd and everything is stable.

3Dmark2001 SE Build 330

In 3DMark2001SE benchmarks, the ASUS A7N8X does seem to be just an average performer unless you are running it in a dual ddr configuration in DDR400 mode aggressive timings.
