i815 B-Step Tualatin Motherboard Roundup - July 2001

The performance range between the “slowest” motherboard, the Tyan i815T, and the “fastest” motherboard, the ASUS TUSL2-C, is approximately 0.9%; in other words, the performance difference between the four is negligible. 

In the 3D Studio MAX test we see that the performance ranges over approximately 1.7% between the fastest and the slowest board, again, the difference is insignificant.

The only performance difference that can even be placed on the map occurs in Quake III Arena at 640 x 480 x 32 where the Tomcat i815T is outperformed by the SY-TISU by a 3.5% margin.  Cranking up the resolution to a more playable setting will make that performance difference reduce considerably.  To put it bluntly, these motherboards perform the same.
