ECS GameUnion 746 vs nForce2+IGP (4)
Bluetooth 16 Dec 2002

Return to Castle Wolfenstein Checkpoint 49

Games Benchmark - CodeCreatures, Comanche 4, Evolva Bump Rolling

Conclusion

From the slides, it can be seen that the GameUnion board ECS K7S7AG based on the SiS746 chipset and on board VGA chipset Xabre 200 does provide a competitive edge to the nForce2 IGP board. In most of the benchmarks especially the 3D tests. In the slides, there were no tests done using an external VGA card, e.g. a Radeon 9700 or a Ti4600 etc.

It is also interesting to note that the benchmarks were done by ECS and it was based on 128M on ECS SiS 746 board vs 256M (2x128) (Dual Channel) on the nForce2+IGP. If the price of K7S7AG is low, it might eat into the pie nForce2+IGP boards.

We asked ECS about the L7S7A and they told me that the ECS K7S7AG is not a replacement of the anticipated board L7S7A.
