ATI Bullhead: Workstation Performance
ATI Graphics and nVidia Graphics behave quite differently in SPECviewperf 7.1 benchmarks. If you will check past reviews you will see the patterns here are typical for each chipset and nothing unusual. What this means in real terms is it is not very useful to compare ATI and nVidia graphics performance in SPECviewperf, but it is useful to compare ATI to ATI or nVidia to nVidia with different boards. The ATI X800 XT PCIe Workstation results are here to establish baselines for the Rx480 chipset with ATI video. The only useful comparisons are the 3 systems with nVidia 6800 Ultra PCIe.

Eh... I don't think the boards are kicking Intel's ass. A64 is.fuzzynavel - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
I didn't realise that the nforce4 and ATI mobos...kicked intels ass so badly!! Not bad for a first attempt....just avoid the integrated graphics and it all looks sweetDenial - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
This is nice and all, but I'm not uprading until dual cores are out. The difference between my home PC (P4 2.8) and office workstation (dual 2.66 xeons) is night and day. It's at the point that my home PC drives me nuts when one process brings everything else to a halt (all the more frustrating when it's something like explorer running amok). I've absolutely had it with single CPU's, no more!VaultDweller - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
The tables on pages 10 and 11 both list Halo as the first benchmark, but the review text on page 10 refers to a 14.4% gain in 'Quake 3.' According to the table, that 14.4% was for Halo.MAME - Monday, November 8, 2004 - link
