DFI 748-AL SiS 748 Mainboard Review (7)
Bluetooth 19th Aug 2003

Benchmarking

In Windows Movie Maker ver 2, we imported the sample file that comes with the program into it and encode it using a 1.5Mbps video WMV. Here are the timings recorded using a stop watch. Looks like the single channel DDR chipsets have met its limitation. Both SiS and VIA scores are almost equivalent. The nForce2 seems to be winner.

In terms of rendering, lightwave 3.0 is used. We used the benchmark file Radio-reflective things and rendered one frame. Here are the timings recorded in seconds (the faster the better). This time round, we see that the VIA KT600 Gigabyte 7VT600-1394 is as good as the nForce2 boards. The DFI 748-AL just like the ASrock K7S8X-E is slower in this test. Do note that by a difference of 2MHz, the SiS 748 Ref can be faster than the nForce2.
