XFX nForce 630i Socket 775 mATX Motherboard
Encoding
Published: 27th February 2008 | Source: XFX | Price: £54.00 |
ViMark is the latest addition to the OC3D motherboard testing process and a relatively new benchmarking application in general. Designed to take the inaccuracies and guesswork out of measuring the time taken to encode video files, ViMark produces easily comparable and consistent results for encoding raw video into Windows Media, Quicktime, AVI and Gif formats. As always, a total of 5 benchmark runs were performed with the highest and lowest scores removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 scores.
Result Observations
Interestingly, the XFX nForce 630i performed equally as good as our ASUS P5KPL-VM motherboard when it came to encoding benchmarks courtesy of ViMark.

any chance of seeing how it performs rendering 1080p HD video (ie percentage of cpu power used) as im in a process of looking for htpc (to go with my 40" 1080p sammy 
yummy!) mobo and would love to know hows the hd playback on this one.Quote

"During the overclocking phase of this review it is interesting to note that the chipset heatsink was frightfully hot to the touch, and more than likely detrimental to the overall performance of the motherboard. "
when nVidia went from having separate nb & sb on 6xxx IGP to an all in one on 7xxx I'm sure that it became cheaper for them to produce (& hence probably more profitable for them) but it definitely resulted in increased chipset temps.
I've got abit's I-N73HD based on the same chipset here to play with once I acquire a spare CPU.Quote
