ASUS P6X58D-E Review

Gaming Benchmarks

Gaming Benchmarks

As more and more gamers use decent sized monitors these days, and this isn't a test of the graphics card alone, we're test 3D Mark Vantage at High settings to show the CPU score in the most useful state. Again we find a score a third larger than the stock settings. This is definitely a good overclocking board.

Games

Both Dirt 2 and Crysis Warhead are more reliant upon the graphics card than the motherboard as such, we're including the results for completeness sake. Naturally with a bigger CPU speed you have a better minimum frame rate but the other scores remain roughly similar.

Finally Unigine really pounds the entire system with some amazing DX11 eye candy. Despite this being a "synthetic" test it gives results similar to our gaming ones.

If I was looking at building an i7 980x rig, would the Premium be the better board to take based purely on the processor?
