Memory Latency Comparison

We recently switched to version 2.50 of Everest, so these scores are not comparable to previous tests with version 2.20. The memory latency test continues to show a 7% advantage for the nForce4's memory controller on the Asus board. The Biostar board's performance was near the bottom of the field and mirrors the results in the more memory and cpu sensitive 3DMark03 and 3DMark01 tests. The surprising number is the difference between the Asus P5N32-SLI and Biostar TForce4 U 775 in the read performance results, which results in the Asus being 4% faster.


Overclocking Performance

The overclocking performance graphs have been added to the standard benchmark test suite and should allow for a better comparison on the overclocking capabilities of tested boards. For more details on the specific overclocking abilities of this board, please refer to the Overclocking and Memory Stress Test section in the Basic Features section.

Overclocking

The Biostar TForce4 U 775 is an average overclocker, but falls within the normal range of most NVIDIA based Intel boards. We still recommend the Intel chipsets if higher overclocks are required.

    I was really interested in buying this board to replace a dead board until I read the part about ALC 850. Urgh.

    The 10/100 ethernet was also an issue, but I could have lived with that. But no HD Audio? This is 2006, not 1996.

    I would like to see more articles from Biostar. They seem to have a good idea on what performance is. Any idea if you guys could get a article on the Biostar TForce4U Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra AMD mobo?

    How come AT has taken down the RS580 article (at least) twice now??

    The NDA for the RD580 is on 3/2/06. ATI has requested the review sites adhere to this date. However, if you look around the net the article has been saved in a zip file and is available for viewing. ;-)

    Very detailed and coherent article! I am in no way in the market for an intel/biostar board (how many are? ;), but the review was a pleasure to read. I found the author's writing style to be very unique and the article overall was outstanding. Keep up the good work AT!


    I second that!

    Good job on including the min and max frame rates on the graphs. That is an excellent addition. Now if we can just get the median and mode......... *>}
