Gaming Performance

So we have taken a look at how the K7D Master handles real world benchmarks, but what about gaming? Many of the prospective Dual AMD platform owners are not only looking for a solid performance platform for work but also for play. So let's run the K7D Master through a couple benchmarks and see how the K7D MASTER handles the "Crouching Tigers".

MadOnion's 3D Mark 2001 has become the cornerstone of benchmarking for gamers. This intensive direct 3D benchmark runs a video card through the paces but also helps show the overall performance of your gaming rig.

Tyan's Tigers are some stiff competition and hand the MSI K7D Master it's second benchmark loss. The Tiger MP and MPX were able to outpace the K7D Master by 254 and 244 respectively. The K7D Master's score of 6257 is respectable but with the direct comparison to both Tigers, it gives the impression the platform is coming up short.

DroneZ is a unique benchmark. DroneZ incorporates the use of Vertex and Pixel Shaders, which are responsible for some of the most impressive examples of illumination and bump mapping found. The graphics and visual effects are truly amazing.

In this demanding benchmark the K7D Master is posting solid numbers but is unable to keep pace with it's Tiger counterparts. If you look at the lower end of the benchmark where you can get a good idea of the platforms performance we see that the Tiger MP leads the way over it's sibling the Tiger MPX. The K7D Master cranks out 192 frames per second but still falls short to its Tyan counterpart by 20.99 fps. This again is at the lowest resolution and quality settings but what about at the preferred gaming resolution of 1024x768 high quality? At this resolution there is a 15 fps difference between the Tiger MPX and the K7D Master.
