VIA's KT266A: The Saga Continues

3D Gaming Performance

To round out the performance spectrum we have our usual suite of gaming tests.  AMD and VIA first raised the bar on gaming performance with their DDR solutions; SiS did it again with the 735 and VIA seems to have pulled performance out of thin air (or thin silicon – very poor joke, we’ll never do it again) with the KT266A. 

Granted, in a video card bottlenecked game you won’t see this kind of a performance difference between the platforms.  With even faster video cards less than one month away from release don’t expect to be too video bottlenecked at even 1024 x 768 in many games.

Can anyone say, 15% performance advantage?
