We used several different benchmark tests in order to give you a complete and balanced picture of how the Granite Bay chipset performs in comparison to the 875.
The OpenGL performances are evaluated using various Quake 3 tests; the Direct3D performance from the DirectX package is measured with 3D Mark 2001 SE (based on DirectX 8.1). A newcomer is 3D Mark 2003, which evaluates performance under DirectX 9. We couldn't forget the established 3D game for DirectX8, Unreal Tournament 2003.
A comprehensive test scenario is provided by a variety of benchmarks for MPEG encoding - with the help of mp3 Maker Platinum, a 178 MB WAV file is converted to the MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. Also, with the help of Main Concept 1.3, we convert a DV video (1.2 GB) to an MPEG-2 file. With Pinnacle Studio 8.5, a file is encoded in MPEG-2 format.
Also important for practical applications is file compression, for which we use Winrar 3.11. And, of course, SiSoft Sandra 2002 SP1 shouldn't be left out. For friends of overclocking, PC Mark 2002 is interesting if you're looking for reference scores to compare with your own overclocking success. 3D rendering performance is evaluated with Cinema 4D, 3D Studio Max and Lightwave.
