Memory Bandwidth Comparison - Write Performance

The memory latency test shows a 14% advantage for the nForce4's memory controller. This is an outstanding result and really shows NVIDIA's ability to engineer and produce a competitive component. The performance advantage continues to show in the bandwidth tests, and although Intel and NVIDIA are normally equal in this area, we believe that MSI has coaxed more performance out of their solution than Gigabyte.

    smn198,

    Thank you. I really enjoyed doing this article, working with Wes, and having the opportunity to share my experiences with the great members and visitors here at AnandTech. I certainly hope you will be seeing more from me. ;-)

    Sincerely,

    Looks like it went up early.

    Good read though. At first I was like "Holy $#!+" when I saw the gaming benchmarks, but then they mentioned about the Gigabyte BIOS being effed up.

    DRAM Voltage Auto, 1.80V to 2.3V in 0.1V increments


    uh.. but isnt ram like 2.5-2.8v?

    DDR2 runs at much lower vdimm than DDR.

    ah yes of course..

    so much for active cooling then

    I can't believe the Nforce 4 for AMD supports dual core but the Intel edition only has limited support and no support for the 820.

    no a diamond can't beat a royal flush
