ECS 755-A2 (SiS755) Review (5)
Bluetooth 20 Jan 2004

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 score is 380fps which is one of the fastest K8 boards around. From the chart, other than the SiS Ref and 755-A2, the other few boards are running slightly higher FSB which resulted in a higher score in Quake 3.

In 3DMark2001SE Build 330, the results of 17505 is impressive! This is probably the first time I see the ECS retail board's performance exceeded the SiS 755 Ref board ! I think ECS has really spent time fine tuning this board with a good BIOS implementation this time round.

In 3DMark2003, the score of 4872 is just 4 points lower than the SOYO K8USA. Among the K8 boards in the chart, we can see that the ECS 755-A2 is definitely a very fast board ! In fact, the SiS 755 Ref board is at 4862.
