MSI KT3 Ultra ARU (2)
Overclocker 19 Feb 2002

Benchmarking

We conduct the usual tests on the setup with the following configuration :

Test System:

  • AMD AthlonXP 1500+ and Thermoengine heatsink/fan
  • Maxtor 40G ATA133 HD
  • AOPEN 40X CDROM 
  • MSI Geforce3 Ti200 Graphics card
  • Nanya DDR333 256MB DDR 
  • Channelwell 375W AMD Approved PSU 

We used the BIOS supplied with the mainboard and tested the board in both DDR266 and DDR333 Async (CPU=133Mhz, MEM=166Mhz) mode. We took the readings off WCPUID and noticed that at both modes, the WCPUID reveals 133.34Mhz FSB. The system runs CAS 2 1T cmd Ultra.

Summary

Based on the AthlonXP1500+

The table is a comparison of the results based on both 133/133 (DDR266) and 133/166 (DDR333) setting. A score of 48.7 (DDR266) and 49.5 (DDR333) is similar to most of the KT266A boards we have tested before. If we were to compare with MSI K7T266Pro2-RU, we can see the increased in performance. The Gigabyte family seems to score slightly better than the MSI.

Disk benchmarks scores similarly to those of GA-7VRXP (KT333). The test was done on a Maxtor ATA133 HD 7200RPM. Under the high end disk winmark, the MSI seems to outperform the rest.
