Abit AW9D Max socket 775 Motherboard
Test Results - 3DMark05, 3DMark06 and CS:Source
Published: 12th October 2006 | Source: Abit | Price: |
3DMark05 is a benchmark that relies heavily upon DX 8 and DX 9 shader paths. 3DMark05 is very useful benchmark to give us numbers to compare systems. It does give a decent indicator of gaming performance, and includes a couple of CPU benchmarks.
There was a very slight increase in 3DMarks at the lower more CPU-bound resolution
The same pattern emerges, although the slightly more testing 3DMark06 gives a bit more of an increase.
Counter Strike: Source
Counter Strike: Source is a hugely popular online FPS game based on the Source engine by Valve. This will show what a typical gamer will play on their PC and is a great indication of real-world gaming performance as the engine is so scalable.
There is very little difference in FPS between the boards, although the AW9D Max gives a slight increase.
Counter Strike: Source seems to go the opposite way to 3DMark. The FPS increase at higher resolutions was more than at lower resolutions. The AW9D Max saw a decent increase of around 2FPS at the higher resolution.
Overall gaming performance on the AW9D Max was excellent, more to come on that later on!

I'm surprised that Seagate didn't patent this technology! Looks good though, I wonder who the first to make a 2gb drive will be
