ASUS Maximus 4 Extreme Review
3D Mark

3D Mark Vantage
For 3D Mark we always run our tests at 4GHz so we'll be skipping the stock Rampage III and Maximus III testing. This gives us our first big shock as the extra 200MHz of the overclocked Maximus IV Extreme over the Rampage III, and 600MHz over the Maximus III, not only make no difference, but can't even bring the 3D Mark score on a par with the more mature systems.
All tests were done with a single reference GTX570 in a PCIe x16 slot so the 2000 point drop is very hard to explain. Let's see if this keeps up through the other gaming tests.
3D Mark 11
Despite the modern and taxing nature of the latest in the Futuremark stable the P67 is still unable to keep up with its brethren. Although the scores are much closer due to the difference way results are calculated in 3D Mark 11, the gap is still as large as it was above.
For a system that spanks certain CPU tests so hard this is quite a surprise to say the least.

You should add static values to each bar to make it easier to compare between them. There are so many graphs associated with reviews such as yours, would be nice to be able to move more quickly through them.
And especially in cases like the wprime95 in your new LGA 1155 review where the 1024M values are so high they stretch the scale, leaving almost no resolution for displaying the 1M results. So you have to hover the mouse over each of them.
Also just post them as pictures, the animations don't really add anything to it and pictures will probably load faster. But most importantly you gain compatibility with non flash compatible mobile devices.
I mostly read review and do research when commuting and being out of the house. Most other sites work for that, but yours.
Other than that, thanks for a great site. I appreciate the amount of detail you out into your work.
Looking forward to see how far you can get the i7-2600K on boards like the new UD7 from Gigabyte. I don't really trust the Digi+ VRM and UEFI bios yet.
