framerate results for the ASRock AM2V890-VSTA motherboard are higher than the
Biostar TForce 6100 AM2. This offers a pretty good level of comparison since the
chipsets are competitive equivalents.
Doom 3
takes advantage of the latest videocard technology and pushes the processing
power of the CPU to its absolute limit. At its highest setting, Ultra quality,
texture sizes pass the 500MB mark which means even tomorrow's videocards will
have a hard time running everything. The frame rates in the game itself are
locked at 60 fps so anything above that point is wasted. Each test is run three
times with the third run being recorded.

The
K8T890 ASRock motherboard is about 9 fps slower than the quickest NF 590
SLI-based motherboard in Doom3. The largest difference between all of these
motherboards, will be the price they retail for.
Quake 4
is the latest shooter from ID and is based on the Doom 3 engine. Tweaked to for
more eye candy, Quake 4 promises to be tougher on videocards and systems than
its predecessor was. Quake 4 also does not have a 60 fps limiter like Doom 3,
with the Ultra setting, graphic textures can surpass the 500MB mark! Each test
is run three times and with the third run being recorded.
