HIS X700Pro PCI-E Graphics Card - X700XT Equaling Performance

Test System Setup

Processor(s): Intel Pentium 4 EE 3.46GHz

Motherboard: ABIT AA8XE Fatality (Supplied by ABIT)

Memory: 2 x 512MB Kingston HyperX DDR-2 PC5400 (Supplied by Kingston)

Hard Disk(s): Western Digital Raptor 74.6GB SATA 10,000RPM (Supplied by Western Digital)

Operating System Used: Windows XP Professional SP1

Drivers Used: ATI Catalyst 4.11 and DirectX 9C

To demonstrate the performance of the HIS X700 Pro we tested the card at stock speeds (425MHz core and 432MHz memory) along with overclocked results (510MHz core and 525MHz memory) against an older generation HIS X600XT graphics card set to its default clock speed (500MHz core and 378MHz memory).

We expect the X600XT to be trampled by the X700 series but by how much we aren't sure. Let's get started and find out.

3DMark2001 SE is a part of the popular 3DMark series. By combining DirectX 8.1 support with completely new graphics (including the GeForce4), it continues to provide benchmark results that empower you to make informed hardware assessments.

In our first test we can see that the HIS X700 Pro kills its older brother by 37% and even more when overclocked.
