Here is our test system
Our test system was Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 with Catalyst 8.10 drivers and Forceware 180.
We've covered the GeForce 8200 Southbridge before and as usual with Nvidia chipsets it is fast with no problems. We decided to compare to another 780G ASRock board, this one with no sideport memory to see how the 780G and GeForce 8200 compete on a more level playing field.
The 8200 based K10N78-1394 does a lot better than we expected when you remove Sideport memory of the 780G from the equation but the 780G board still comes out on top.
World in Conflict is a popular strategy game and we used the built-in timdemo to benchmark the game. The 780G wins again and by a few more frames per second.
3DMark shows a slightly larger gap of 220 points between the ASRock baords. Again the 780G does come out on top with gaming.
PCMark tests all around and general PC performance and the graphics card is also stressed in this. As we can see the 780G system comes out ahead yet again.
Power consumption for idle was measured 5 minutes into the Windows desktop and load was with the Crysis GPU benchmark.
Both boards seem equal when idle but at load power consumption is a bit higher on the Nvidia board.
