3Dmark05 and 3Dmark06 benchmarks of ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI NVIDIA nForce 680i chipset mainboard review
Bluetooth 24 Mar 2008

Benchmarks - 3Dmark2005/3DMark2006

Paired with a Vvikoo 9600GT Turbo on board using QX9770, the mainboard is tested for it's performance in 3DMark06 and 3DMark06.

The same card is paired with a ECS 9600GT with Accelero S2 we reviewed before to test for SLI performance.

As we can see form the chart below, the Gigabyte P35T-DQ6 performs slightly better with the same graphics card, scoring 19009 while the ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI scored 18850.

As the NF680i support SLI in a Dual 16x configuration, we put it to the test. With SLI enabled, the score shot up to 20434. This score is better than the SLI scored obtained by Penryn1600SLI-110dB at 20351 as it is running in a dual 8x SLI.

In 3Dmark06, the ASRock Penryn1600SLIX3-WIFI does better with a score of 11940 in contrast to the two other boards tested. In SLI mode, it scored 15771, 10 marks below that of the Penryn1600SLI-110dB in a dual 8x mode. It seems like the two 9600GT cards running at 1280x1024 might not be able to tap the power of Dual 16x, the performance saturates with a Dual 8x configuration.
