Asus M3A78-T Motherboard Review ~ HD 3300 IGP Overclock Fun

Motherboards/AMD AM2+ by massman @ 2009-05-06

Today, we have a look at the Asus AM2+ motherboard, the M3A78-T, which is one of the higher-end motherboards from their AM2+ series. It comes with HD3300 onboard GPU which we overclocked to the limit… and beyond, running Crysis at 1280x1024 at 30fps!

SuperPi, Wprime and Lavalys Everest

SuperPi and Wprime:

SuperPi has been around for ages now, but still reflects the performance of the technology. Being single threaded, you won't increase performance by inserting a quad core processor, but that's why we've chosen Wprime as an alternative. Wprime has been included in the HWBot benchmark suite for quite some time now and many people agree on the quality of the benchmark. Wprime works with multiple threads and is ideal to test multi-core processors.

The Dfi 790GX-M2RS seems to be a tad faster than both Foxconn and Asus M3A78-T.

Dfi beating the two other mainboards, which perform pretty much the same as each other.

Lavalys Everest 4.50

We used the memory benchmark utility to measure the performance of the memory management.

All boards are pretty much on par with each other in all tests, except for the Asus M3A78-T which outperforms the other two boards in the read bandwidth test at overclocked settings.

A clear win for the Dfi; Asus and Foxconn perform exactly the same.
