3Dmark05, 06, 3DMark Vantage benchmark on ASROCK AOD790GX/128M AMD 790GX+SB750 mainboard

Benchmarks - 3Dmark2005/3DMark2006/3DMark Vantage

In this test, we run the board in default mode , that is at 700MHz for GPU and the UMA memory is set to run in 533MHz. Thus the integrated GPU runs at 700/533MHz. The first test is done using UMA enabled. The 2nd test is with the UMA+Sideport enabled. The third test is UMA+Sideport enabled and GPU is overclocked to 1GHz. *

Before we go on, we would like to highlight that the ASRock comes with a 128M DDR2-800 while the Biostar TA790GX A2+ comes with a 64MB sideport memory. The Gigabyte comes with 128MB DDR3. We managed to OC the iGPU to 1000MHz on the ASRock AOD790GX/128M, 900MHz on Biostar and 1000MHz on Gigabyte.

In 3DMark05, we can see from the chart below that ASRock did well with just UMA enabled. In fact, this is a pleasant surprise for us. When sideport is enabled at 533MHZ (1066), the score shot up to 4382. The BIOSTAR scored 4100 with it's 64M sideport. On the Gigabyte, it scored 4346 which is lower than the ASRock.

When overclocked to 1000MHz and Sideport enabled, the ASRock took 4587. The Biostar is not match at 4352. The Gigaybte with DDR3 does better at 4758.

From the tests, we can see that a Sideport memory of 128M does improve performance. If paired up with DDR3, the performance leaps even further.

In 3Dmark06, the ASRock takes on the 2 other boards. With only UMA enabled, it took the crown with a score of 1879. When sideport is enabled, it took 2115, overtaking 1910 on Biostar and 2053 on Gigabyte.

When the boards are o/c to 1GHz, ASRock took 2266 while the Gigabyte took 2352, Biostar scored 2102.

The same tests are applied to 3Dmark Vantage in Performance mode. With UMA only, the board scored well at 296. With Sideport enabled, it scored 356 again beating the two other boards. When oc to 1GHZ, it scored 433, but it seems that the Gigabyte with DDR3 does better with a score of 463.

From the above observations, it can be seen that the ASRock AOD790GX/128M is indeed very tuned for performance at Default clk and sideport. When o/c the Gigabyte with Sideport does better in these tests.
