    Benchmarks Continued

     

    PCMark 2002

    Here again you see the KT400A getting thumped by the nForce2 in memory management. there is only a slight lag in cpu score for the KT400A against the two Nvidia based boards. Disregard the hard drive scores because the NF7-S did not use the same reference hard drive as the other two motherboards.


     

    3DMark2001 SE v330

    The KT400A is developing a pattern of trailing the two nForce2 boards in test scores. Although the difference in score is very small in relation to the scores earned, it is something to take note of.


     

    3DMark2003 v320

    The trend continues for the KT400A. But the original KT400 chipset suffered the same fate when set against the early nForce2 chipsets.


     

    Aquamark

     

    Aquamark is a synthetic benchmark reputed to be extremely tough on graphics cards and the memory subsystems that carry the data to and fro. As you can see here, the KT400A is still bringing up the rear but the K7N2-L has actually taken a first place for once. It could be that 1 Gigabyte of RAM that it's slinging around.

     


    CodeCreatures

    (no score was available for the NF7-S for this benchmark)

    CodeCreatures is a benchmark aimed squarely at your graphics card. This is the only benchmark other than the Sisoft CPU Arithmetic test that the KT400A has bested the nForce2 boards. It's going to take some studying to figure out the how and why.


     

    Comanche 4

    Comanche 4 Benchmark Demo

     

    I threw this benchmark in for the sheer fun of watching it over and over again. But on a serious note, the KT400A is back to the loser's bracket again against the nForce2 boards.
