ABIT AV8 Motherboard

Synthetic Testing

FutureMark; 3dmark2001 SE, Build 330, 3dmark 2003, Build 340

Massive Development; AquaMark3:

The AquaMark3 executes a complete state-of-the-art game engine and generates 3D scenes designed to make the same demands on hardware as a modern game. The utilized game engine, the krass? Engine, has been used in Aquanox and AquaNox 2: Revelation as well as in the upcoming RTS Spellforce by Phenomic Game Development. AquaMark3 utilizes recent hardware features of the new DirectX 9 API, such as PixelShader 2.0, while staying fully backward compatible to DirectX 8 and 7 graphics hardware.

SuperPi 1.1e :

SuperPi calculates the number Pi in this raw number crunching benchmark. The benchmark is fairly diverse and allows the user to change the number of digits of Pi that can be calculated. In this benchmark we ran SuperPi to 4 million places.

Results: The Abit once again has a great showing here, leading in the 3dmark scores, pretty much neck and neck in aquamark, and then besting hte MSI by 2 seconds in superPI! Nice going Abit!

Let’s move on to some more benchmarks.
