Lavalys Everest Memory Performance

Website: Lavalys



Compared the the Intel G45, the Nvidia GeForce 9300 lacks raw memory performance in copy and read in a similar fashion that the nForce 750i SLI did. In some respects the GeForce 9300 mGPU is not much faster than the single channel Jetway GeForce 8200 AMD board with DDR2-800.

Memory latency is also incredibly high for the Zotac board too, due to the fact that when set to 1,333MHz FSB - 800MHz memory (not an uncommon setting by any stretch) this means the memory controller runs in unlinked mode, rather than the more efficient linked setting.

Sisoft Sandra echo's the performance of Everest, although the raw latency reading is still better for both the Intel CPU boards than the AMD's, however the Intel G45 is still a fair bit faster with nearly 25 percent more raw memory performance than the Zotac.
