ABIT KV8-MAX 3 K8T800 Athlon 64 Socket 754 Mainboard Review (5)
Bluetooth 26 Oct 2003

Benchmarking

We checked out Q3 running Demo001 at 1024x768x32 Hi-Quality. In this category, the SIS 748; a single channel DDR solution lost to the nForce2 platform. This is to be expected. The difference between the two boards is very minimal. It is only 0.2 fps which is hardly noticeable. In fact, what would happen if the FSB was 200.5, it would have got similar or high results. In all tests, Tyan Radeon 9700Pro is used and is running in 8X mode with Catalyst 3.2 (7.84) drivers for all boards tested.

The ABIT KV8-MAX 3 scores 376.9fps on the average. The score is in between two other VIA K8T800 boards. The NF3 boards, ALI and SiS ref boards seems to perform better.

In 3DMark2001SE Build 330, the results are quite different though using the same chipset. As we can see the BIOSTAR K8VHA Pro scores 17515 while the ABIT KV8-MAX 3 and Gigabyte K8VNXP scores around 17380 3Dmarks.

In 3DMark2003, the score of 4863 is quite good compared to the other K8T800 boards. In fact, in this case, the ABIT KV8-MAX3 scores the best among all Athlon 64 boards.
