Benchmarks - 3DMark2005/2006

In 3Dmark2005, we take a look at its performance of the board using a SLI and non SLI environment. Firstly, we benchmarked the 3Dmark05 and 3DMark06. We found that the differences in performance isn't that noticable. In fact it is very close to the two other boards we tested before.

In SLI, we paired up a ASUS 7600GT with a Gigabyte 7600GT using Forceware 84.21. the results almost doubled for 3Dmark05. From what we can see, the 570 SLI based EPoX board scored 9924 in contrast to 10066 on the ASUS M2N32-SLI board. Is this due to the LINK boost that is only available on the 590 SLI chipset?

Using 3Dmark06, the difference is minor. It is 5472 vs 5481 in SLI mode and 3231 vs 3228 in normal mode. I suspect the 3DMark05 benchmark is more graphical intensive and in that case the Link boost might have helped on the ASUS board based on 590 SLI chipset.
