We tested the WinFast 6150K8MA-8EKRS against a similarly configured, non-integrated motherboard, the WinFast NF4K8MC-ERS, using SiSoft Sandra, 3DMark2003 build 330, 3DMark2005 v1.2.0, and SPEC Viewperf 8.1, in the following configuration:
Crash! You probably noticed we used a beta driver for onboard video, but not for the 6800GT. As is often the case, the beta driver was not 100% stable (nor 100% functional), but was the only driver we had compatible with onboard video.
At any rate, both motherboards were tested with the installed 6800GT.
Slightly better Sandra scores for the 6150 chipset encourage us as we move into graphics performance comparisons.
