MPEG-4 Encoding Performance - 'Sum of All Fears' Ch. 9

The DFI nForce4 is competitive with other Athlon 64 boards in Business and Multi-Media Winstones, but it is hardly a standout performer as it is in gaming benchmarks. The DFI does, however, perform exceptionally well compared to the nForce4 Reference and other Athlon 64 boards in PCMark 2004 and the 2-pass Auto GK Media Encoding benchmark. It is clear that DFI is continuing to tweak stock performance as the stock scores in these benchmarks are much improved over results that we have seen from DFI in the past.

    Now if someone could get the Ultra-D to a 3 monitor span like a Matrox Parhelia then I'd be all over this board!

    Pretty confusing product line but nice boards.
