Shuttle AV45GTR Motherboard Review
Shuttle AV45GTR Motherboard Review - PCSTATS
Yet another motherboard from Shuttle that sounds like it should be a car... I mean with a name like AV45GTR who wouldn't think of some wicked little roadster?

Sandra and gaming benchmarks

Sisoft Sandra 2001 Source: Sandra

Sandra is designed to test the theoretical power of a complete system and individual components. The numbers taken though are again, purely theoretical and may not represent real world performance.

Multimedia Benchmark

1. Integer SSE - 100 MHz 6086 it/s
1a. Integer SSE - 109 MHz 6556 it/s
2. Floating-Point SSE - 100 MHz 7345 it/s
2a. Floating-Point SSE - 109 MHz 7957 it/s

CPU Benchmark

3. Dhrystone ALU - 100 MHz 2965 MIPS
3a. Dhrystone ALU - 109 MHz 3174 MIPs
4. Whetstone FPU - 100 MHz 792 (FPU)/1862 (SSE2) MFLOPS
4a. Whetstone FPU - 109 MHz 867 (FPU)/2022 (SSE2) MFLOPS

Memory Benchmark

5. Integer ALU - 100 MHz 2067 MB/s
5a. Integer ALU - 109 MHz 2259 MB/s
6. Float FPU - 100 MHz 2068 MB/s
6a. Float FPU - 109 MHz 2251 MB/s

Sandra is a theoretical power tester, as we can see, when the system is overclocked, performance does increase by quite a substantial margin. Interesting note, at stock speeds, the P4X266A has about the same memory bandwidth as the KT266A. It's not surprising since they share the same memory controller.

3DMark2001 Source: MadOnion

3DMark2001 is the latest installment in the 3DMark series by MadOnion. By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001 has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics. Higher 3DMark scores denote better performance.

3DMark 2001 Benchmark Results
Shuttle AV45GTR 3DMarks Ranking
1. 100 MHz FSB 6972
2. 109 MHz FSB 7391

3DMark2001 has SSE2 code written into it and the P4 does fairly well. As we can see, the P4 is begging for higher clock speeds, the marginal increase from both FSB and clock speed really boost performance!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

Source: ID Software

Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a relatively new game benchmark. However, RTCW takes up where Quake III left off and continues to form the basis of the first person shooter system stressing that QIII has become a hallmark for. Based upon the Quake III engine, RTCS is obviously going to be quite taxing on even a top end system. Higher numbers denote faster frames per second (FPS), and hence, better performance.

RTCW (640x480 atdemo6) Benchmark Results
Shuttle AV45GTR (FPS) Ranking
1. 100 MHz FSB 40
2. 109 MHz FSB 43.2

RTCW (640x480 atdemo8) Benchmark Results
Shuttle AV45GTR (FPS) Ranking
1. 100 MHz FSB 118.6
2. 109 MHz FSB 129.5

RTCW (1024x768 atdemo6) Benchmark Results
Shuttle AV45GTR (FPS) Ranking
1. 100 MHz FSB 39.7
2. 109 MHz FSB 42

RTCW (1024x768 atdemo8) Benchmark Results
Shuttle AV45GTR (FPS) Ranking
1. 100 MHz FSB 110.6
2. 109 MHz FSB 121.6

The atdemo6 demo is very much like the nv15demo in Q3, all CPU limited and as we can see here. The P4 does better in the atdemo8 demo, that is more of a overall system benchmark and here, the GeForce3 Ti500 takes over.
