ECS NF650iSLIT-A (NVIDIA 650i) mainboard review - 3Dmark05 and FEAR

Benchmarks - 3Dmark05 and FEAR

For completeness, we enclosed gaming benchmarks. As game demos or benchmarks are not 'quad-ready', it should not be seen as a weakness of the CPU. Once gaming applications are able to take advantage of quad cores, performance will generally be improved.

3DMark2005 scores is more graphical intensive. As we know, NV+NV usually gives better 3D performance. This seems to be true on the 680i board when paired up with the graphics card. A score of 9333 is recorded against the 9274 on the 965P board.

On the ECS NF650iSLIT-A, we get a score of 9248. The 80 points difference to the ECS PN2 SLI2+ could be attributed to the PCIex8 used on the ECS NF650iSLIT-A compared to the PCIex16 interface on the other boards.

Below are the scores of FEAR demo running in MAX/MAX configuration. All boards seems to do quite well with a score of 81 frames. It seems that a PCIe x8 still did not affect much of the performance of FEAR.
