ASUS Rampage III Gene Review
Benchmarks Part Two

Benchmarks Pt2
3D Mark Vantage
Vantage responds well to our processor overclock, as we'd expect it to, but this shows that the Gene has the go as well as the show. Even at stock it keeps pace with its big brother.
Dirt 2
We are huge fans of Dirt 2 here at OC3D, and why wouldn't we be when it gives great results no matter what we test it on. It's the same here with the Gene as we find the results replicate those we've seen up to now.
Crysis Warhead
Good old Crysis Warhead. If there is one thing it can be guaranteed to do it's provide us with lots of head-scratching. No idea what was going on with our overclock results here, so we'll treat it as the aberration it is and move on to our final couple of tests.
POV-Ray and CineBench R11.5
Both POV-Ray and CineBench are 3D rendering engines, but they go about image creation in very different methods. The robustness of the Gene shines through here as nothing stresses your CPU and subsystem in quite the same way as rendering. Yet the Gene just keeps on chomping numbers.

Wow - Overclock3D have done it again with the WORLDS FIRST REVIEW of the Rampage III Gene!!!!
Excellent publicity. Asus must totally love you dude
Lets just say this is the warm up act eh A little while ago you could pick up the latest Alienware chassis on Ebay for about £200 with a 1kw Delta PSU. Few of my friends got them and put in this board.. It kicked seven shades out of the actual Alienware
Is this just me and if not could you have a word with Asus? TBH that's the ONLY gripe I ever had with my board was waiting all day for the updates to download and then finding they had dropped and corrupted..
If this post needs moving then please do so

My bad. It was the Rampage 2 (or II) Gene.
God Asus are confusing with their names
Well if it's anything like the one before (and I'm sure it is) and it improves on the one before (which I am sure it does) then it will be another hit out of the park for Asus.
They definitely don't have any competition IMO. the eVGA one is the same size, more money and a terribly bad overclocker.

oooh of course! I almost forgot that is coming up very soon. I won't be able to get one, but i can still drool over the hardware. It'll be like the centre spread of playboy except it won't bounce quite as well as theirs

If that is what I think it is, I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise so obviously. Fancy a bit of a riddle? Let's just say I hope it doesn't bring Phobos and Deimos with it. Hopefully I'm right and Tom will know exactly what I mean
