SiSoft Sandra 2003

In the CPU Arithmetic Benchmarks, the performance is very good. They are very close to the Pentium 4 2.66 and 2.8 SiSoft reference numbers.

In the CPU Multi-Media Benchmark the results are on par with the 2.66 reference numbers.

The Memory Bandwidth Benchmarks are again great. The numbers are on the same level as a 512MB PC2700 reference number on an 845PE.

PC Mark 2002

With PC Mark 2002 we saw some good numbers, especially in CPU and Memory testings.

3DMark2001SE

For 3DMark 2001SE we ran the default settings in two resolutions, 1024x768x32 and 1280x1024x32. We got a score of 8090 3DMarks in 1024x768x32 which is a good score. And it only dropped about 500 3DMarks when we switched resolutions from 1024x768x32 to 1280x1024x32.

Quake III Arena

We ran the maximum settings in Quake III Arena and we only see a small drop from 1024x768x32 to 1280x1024x32.

Serious Sam SE

In Serious Sam SE the numbers are very close in both colour depths and resolutions. So there isn't much of a drop when you change colour depths and/or resolutions.

Comanche 4

In Comanche 4 we have very good numbers. And again there is a very small drop of the FPS hen changing resolutions or colour depths that its not even noticeable to the human eye.

By looking at all these benchmarks, we see that the Albatron PX845PEV Pro hits up some great numbers. It didn't lack any performance in any field tested and ran better too.
