In this test, we take a look at the performance of the 3 integrated graphics chipsets, SIS 771/966 vs NF 6100/410 vs ATi RS485/SB460 in its USB performance with an external HDD in Vantec enclosure connected via USB cable.

SiS 966 scored 26MB/s while NV 410 scored 19MB/s and ATi SB460 scored 16MB/s. The SiS 966 USB performance is amazingly fast. A yr ago, we tested ICH7, it only scored 25 MB/s. I would have expected the two other South bridges to get around 20+ but both scored below that. We verified it by testing multiple times but the results are consistent.
