Hi guys. I've bought this Asus motherboard couple weeks ago, but yesterday found some time to take care of it. I was wondering how this Trident gpu will perform under 3DMark 99. So there are the results.

Test bench:
ASUS CUPLE-VM v1.03
CPUs - a range of CPUs for S370: Intel Celeron 400, 466 (Mendocino, 66 MHz FSB), Intel Pentium III 866, 1000 MHz (Coppermine, 133 MHz FSB), VIA C3 733 A (Samuel 2, 133 MHz FSB).
RAM - 128 MB SDRAM 133, also tried 192 MB of 133 MHz SDRAM.

As you will see in the results, the Celeron was that bad at the end, VIA has been totally beaten, given it's core clock I'd expect a lot more.

As for the graphics card it is not that bad, but it needs high power CPU, a 1 GHz Pentium III is enough.

The motherboard offers an option to overclock CPU by increasing FSB up to 140 MHz max, and it worked well. The system was stable.
More details in the following posts.

As for the "GPU oc" results - I tried to overclock this card by incrasing core clock in PowerStrip program, but as it turned out it didn't worked.

Awesome work on all of the benchmarking. I just bought a HP laptop with a K6-2+ that has the Cyberblade i7. Looking forwards to messing with it. Looks like it might be a bit better than I was anticipating.

Speaking of CyberBlade i7, i-Opener NetPliance in 1999 was build using mobile socket7 version of this chipset 😀
socket 7 was MVP4 VT8501 https://www.anandtech.com/show/248
socket 370 PLE133 VT8601A seen here
mobile was just called CyberBlade i7 with no mention of it being made by VIA on the package. Via internally called it VT8501-A. Used for example in Sony Vaio PCG-F610 https://www.phantom.sannata.org/viewtopic.php?t=42111
Author of above Vaio thread ran some tests with K6-3 overclocked to 550MHz

Quake2 timedemo 1 demo1.dm2
640x480 - 17.2 FPS
800x600 - 12.4 FPS

Compare to socket7 version from 1999 K6-2 Blade3D Budget Machine
K6-2 450mhz, FIC PAG 2130 VIA Apollo MVP4 Chipset @ 100mhz fsb

i-Opener motherboard build by Clevo is very similar to Vaio PCG-F610 https://www.phantom.sannata.org/viewtopic.php … =662907#p662907 , but extremely cut down for cost reasons, there is even unpopulated spot for cache/tagram.

Im posting this because for some reason YTbers decided to drop two videos about i-Opener this week.

VIA has been totally beaten

yep, very strange chipsets they made(((

This may be due to the use of the integrated video core, but the memory speed is more like a 100MHz FSB.

Check for a more recent BIOS (even beta) and if the options are enabled
