ECS C19-A SLI nForce4 SLI Intel Edition Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
The nForce4 SLI XE chipset is destined for the Intel Pentium 4 platform (socket 775), but it has the potential to dish out full nForce4 SLI Intel Edition type performance!

Benchmarks: 3DMark06, Farcry, X3 Reunion

3DMark06 Source: FutureMark

3DMark06 is the worldwide standard in advanced 3D game performance benchmarking. A fundamental tool for every company in the PC industry as well as PC users and gamers, 3DMark06 uses advanced real-time 3D game workloads to measure PC performance using a suite of DirectX 9 3D graphics tests, CPU tests, and 3D feature tests. 3DMark06 tests include all new HDR/SM3.0 graphics tests, SM2.0 graphics tests, AI and physics driven single and multiple cores or processor CPU tests and a collection of comprehensive feature tests to reliably measure next generation gaming performance today.

3DMark06
Overall: Points Ranking
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX Single) 4194
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX SLI) 4187
CPU: Points Ranking
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX Single) 1533
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX SLI) 1514

There is definitely an issue with SLI in 3DMark06, and we're not quite sure what the problem is. The drivers were reinstalled several times (both motherboard and videocard) without resolving the disparity. Luckily this is an isolated incident and SLI was found to be functioning properly in the other benchmarks.

FarCry Source: Ubisoft

Real-time editing, bump mapping, static lights, network system, integrated physics system, shaders, shadows, and a dynamic music system are just some of the state of-the-art features that the CryENGINE offers. The game was set to Ultra quality and the Ubisoft's Regulator demo was run.

FarCry:
Regulator 640x480: FPS Ranking
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX Single) 77.39
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX SLI) 74.83

Here are the framerates for FarCry - SLI in this situation certainly does not help things.

X3: Reunion

Source: EGOSOFT

Extensive development has gone into the X³ engine, making full use of DirectX 9 technology, to create dramatic visual effects and stunningly realistic starships. Coupled with the massively enhanced A.L. (Artificial Life) system, X³: REUNION will present players with an ever changing, evolving universe; where a players actions really can shape the future of the universe.

X3: Reunion
1024x768: FPS Ranking
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX Single) 46.299
ECS C19-A SLI (NF4 SLI XE 200/800 7800GTX SLI) 44.948

The X3: Reunion benchmark does not allow for resolutions below 1024x768, and SLI does not do much here either.
