Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3H (AMD 690G) mainboard review - System CLK/Sandra XI
Bluetooth 22 May 2007

Benchmarks

In this test, we measured the CLK used by the boards. Both boards are set to run in SPD mode of the modules which is rated CAS 5, 5-5-15, 2T. The ECS RS485-M-M and SIS 771 reference board runs on 200.00MHz on the dot. The EPoX EP-AT690 Pro runs at 200.7MHz while the ECS AMD 690GM-M2, Jetway M2A692-GDG and ASUS M2A-VM HDMI all runs at default 200.00Mhz. The Gigabyte GA-MA69G-S3h runs at 200.8MHz.

With that in mind, we take a look at the memory benchmark scores using Sandra XI. 128M of shared memory is in use. We can see that the EPoX EP-AT690 Pro scores quite similarly to the older ATi RS485M-M board. The NVIDIA series boards seems to have an edge over the rest in this test. The SiS 771 graphics core seems to eat a lot more into the memory bandwidth. The Jetway M2A692-GDG seems to be on par with the EpoX EP-AT690 Pro.

We tested the board with Catalyst 7.4, thus the results might have improvement over the previous tests of 7.3 or earlier on other boards. The differences are quite minor for ver 7.3 and 7.4.

In the memory benchmark tests, the Gigabyte MA69G-S3H seems to be slightly lower at 5566/5587. Will it impact the results?
