AOPEN AK79G Max nForce2 (2)
Bluetooth 5 Mar 2003

Benchmarking

Memory Benchmarks (fsb:166, AXP2700+)

SiSoft Sandra 2002

The infamous SiSoft Sandra 2002 is used to test out the memory benchmarks, CPU Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmarks. All the systems are tweak to it's maximum possible settings of CAS 2, 2-2-5 (except ASrock which we can't tune)

All boards running in SYNC DDR333 (166/166) otherwise specified. The FSB of the various boards are :

AOpen AK79G Max : 167.04Mhz
ASROCK K7S8X : 166.64Mhz
ECS L7S7A2 : 166.65Mhz
SiS 746FX Ref board : 168.2Mhz
EPoX 8RDA+ : 167.05Mhz
ABIT KD7 : 166.88Mhz

We ran the AOPEN AK79G Max at default FSB of 166Mhz Sync DDR333 mode in the comparison below.

In SiSoft Memory benchmarks, the Dual Channel DDR Epox 8RDA+ leads the pack. AOpen follows right behind the EPoX 8RDA+. ASrock K7S8X scores as close as the ECS L7S7A2. In Async DDR400 mode, the result seems a bit low. Looks like the nForce2 boards still perform in a Dual Channel DDR mode.

In the CPU Multimedia tests, the AOPEN scores much better than the EPoX 8RDA+ leading by just a few points. Again we see that the nForce2 SPP or IGP performs similarly.

In CPU Arithmetic, we see that both nForce2 boards scores almost the same. Something worth noticing is that a 1Mhz difference from 166.6 to 167.4 might affect the scoreline. (See above at what fsb are the cpus actually running).
