Part Seven: Mainboard Testing

We start with PCMark from MadOnion.com, a nice benchmark for total system performance.

PCMark	Leadtek's nForce 2
Full CPU & Mem.'

And now Sandra 2003...

Sandra Pro 2003.1.9.22	Leadtek's nForce 2
CPU Benchmark	6517 MIPS [Dhrystone ALU] 2641 MFLOPS [Whetstone FPU]
CPU Multi-Media Benchmark	9659 it/s [Integer aEMMX aSSE] 10197 it/s [Floating Point aSSE]

Sandra Pro 2003.1.9.22	Leadtek's nForce 2
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark	1995 MB/s [Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE] 1898 MB/s [Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE]

 

Cache & Memory Benchmark

This nForce2 board certainly looks faster than the KT333 chipset however it is not by a huge margin at all. If we had used a 333FSB CPU the differences would be clearer but remember this review focuses on a more mainstream CPU setting and the performance to be gained in that sector of the market with products that are available now. The memory score under PCMark is clearly faster than the older chipsets we have reviewed.
