Default System Benchmarks

Here's how we tested. Using a 200MHz HTT on 2048GB of Mushkin Redline ram at default timings of 2-3-2-5. Using a totally stock system and installing HIS iTurbo v1.4.1 and then over-clocking using the iTurbo one touch over-clock button and ran the tests. First we will start with 3DMark03, followed by 3DMark05, then last but not least Aquamark 3. I will reboot each time for each of the three synthetic API's used and leave all 28 processes running in the background, this includes Anti Virus protection and firewalls.

HIS iTurbo v1.4.1 @ 400MHz Engine - 980MHz Memory

Loading up iTurbo and using a default Engine of 400MHz and a memory clock of 980MHz we fired up the synthetic tests under these conditions and the results we see here is not a night and day difference, however the increase in performance is significant. 3DMark03 gives us the best results in scoring over 500 points more as compaired to the HIS X800 GT IceQ II Turbo. So we can say the extra pipes are indeed helping the cards performance in the synthetic portion of these tests.

The extra four pipelines on the HIS X800 GTO do make a difference. At similar clock speed settings on the HIS X800 GT, the GTO scores already 500 extra points on 3DMark03 benchmark suite. This extra performance will come in handly in their battle with the GeForce 6800 graphics cards.

Also on the more heavy 3DMark05, the HIS X800 GTO put's down a decent score by toping the Radeon X800 GT by around 400 points. This is even more impressive then on 3DMark03. HIS has certainly once again released an impressive graphics card that stands for excellent performance.

Looking at the Aquamark score we also see an increase in performance. Not that obvious as with the 3DMark scores but still noticeable. You have to focus on the GFX score which did increase by around 200 points between the GTO and GT. So in essence the 12-pipe GTO card has a significant performance increase of the 8-pipe GT.
