Old via drivers/chipsets, yes.... lately no, I would say.

I have a device in review here that cannot use all its features on a VIA KT-xxx chipped mainboard, even with an AthlonXP 2000+ or faster, due to PCI bandwidth limitations. This has been a consistant finding throughout the tests, and not just here. This using the latest VIA drivers, including the latest betas.
This is the case with numerous VIA chipped mainboards and not just one. An example is the Gigabyte GA-7VRX I've been testing with, which is by all accounts a very good VIA chipped mainboard and benches very fast in most tools.
So much for benchmarks
Put the same CPU and other hardware into an el'cheapo ECS K7S5A or ECS K7S6A (SiS 735/745 respectively) and the thing takes off like a rocket.
Now what's your explanation?

I was taking about bugs...
Doc,
I am aware that some of the competitors chipsets have a higher bandwidth. I was commenting on the quality of the drivers. I haven't had a single stability or configuration issue with the KT333 or KT266.
I would really love to see some Sandra numbers from you. Is that possible?
Here are mine:
RAM Int Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 2032
RAM Float Buffered aEMMX/aSSE Bandwidth: 1930
for the record I'm running my A7V333 memory timings at 2.0-2-2CL 1CMD, Asus setting "Turbo" (135 Mhz fsb). My multiplier isn't unlocked so I haven't played much with the FSB.
Regards,
JakeLast edited by Jake; 22 June 2002, 22:59.Who is General Failiure and why is he reading my drive?

No, not actually....You HAVE to be joking?
But I realised that I've missed something until I checked out the google.com search. It's a pity, that great work from overseas (like that of Dr.Seuss) is not very well known here...
Thanx!

I have been using VIA chipset for years and I have always found it to be a performance set when combined wit an Abit motherboard. As far as bandwidth goes the Abit KX333 does not start reaching it's potential until around 205 on the FSB. Go to a search at Mad Onion on AMD CPU's and you will see that 90% of the top scores are done using the VIA set.Originally posted by Dr Mordrid

A sample of VIA kt333 memory bandwidth at only 190X10. My water is not cold enough right now to show what it is at 210X10.

That is nothing compared to what this chipset is capable of. My friends DDtung, MrIcee and Oppainter from another forum get are getting much better results. The key for my results is the Abit KX333 mother board combined with Samsung PC2700 RAM running at 2.9 to 3.1 volts on the vmem.
Here is a link to some pics. They are posted on another forum where I used to be a member of their 3d team. the system has changed some (mother board, video card, ect..) since these were taken.
pic of system are hereComment
