In order to put the motherboards into a realistic environment, they had to pass the SPEC suite including Solidworks 2003 and 3DStudio MAX. Both require about half an hour.

All motherboards were tested using NVIDIA’s Quadro FX-3400, based on NV45GL and GDDR3 memory.

For the two 875P motherboards, we had to use the Quadro FX-3000, which is an AGP part based on NV35 GL and DDR1 memory. Currently, there is no faster AGP graphics card available for professional graphics.
