AOPEN AK79G Max nForce2 (7)
Bluetooth 5 Mar 2003

Benchmarking

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

Quake 3 Demo 001

Quake3 demo001 is a memory intensive application. It is surprising that we register a 9 fps difference between the Epox (SPP) vs Aopen (IGP). Comparing AOPEN AK79GMax to other chipsets, it performs in the league of the SiS 746FX.

3Dmark2001 SE Build 330

AOpen AK79G Max performs very well in 3Dmark2001SE though it lost out in Quake3. This is kind of strange but the benchmarks can't be wrong. In fact, we registered a 100 points difference against the EPoX 8RDA+ when pair with GF4 Ti4200-8x card.

Comanche 4 Demo

In Comanche 4, we see a similar pattern. It seems that nForce2 boards does has an advantage in 3D applications over the other chipsets by a small percentage.
