Benchmarks: AquaMark3, Comanche 4

AquaMark3 Source: Massive Development

AquaMark3 is a powerful tool to determine reliable information about the gaming performance of computer systems. Because the benchmark extensively utilizes DirectX9, DirectX8 and DirectX7 functionality, it represents the requirements of typical gaming applications in 2003 and 2004.

AquaMark3
1024x768 Processor Points Ranking
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (K8T800 PRO 200/400) 11413
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 10948
Epox 9NDA3+ (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 11261
1024x768 Overall Points Ranking
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (K8T800 PRO 200/400) 69761
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 67336
Epox 9NDA3+ (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 67482

In AquaMark3, the Epox 9NDA3+ is slightly behind the K8T800 PRO based MSI K8T Neo2-FIR but superior to the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard.

Comanche 4 Source: Novalogic

The Comanche 4 benchmark demo is a unique test as it represents a real-world gaming experience. It contains the single player "Eagle's Talon" mission from the game as well as a detailed cinematic. This DirectX 8.1 benchmark demo will measure your system's performance in the standard frames per second format. The benchmark was run with audio disabled.

Comanche 4 - 640x480
Motherboards FPS Ranking
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR (K8T800 PRO 200/400) 79.6
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 78.96
Epox 9NDA3+ (NF3 Ultra 200/400) 79.51

Comanche 4 is a great test of processor power and it should come as no surprise that all motherboards achieve similar results.
