3D Mark
Again we see excellent performance in 3D benchmarks, with the G45 Gaming providing monster scores in 3D Mark Vantage, and some great scores in 3D Mark 11. Whether in Performance or the Extreme preset, the MSI lives up to the Gaming tag.

Ethernet: Killer E2205

| Equally the SoundBlaster Cinema sound is good, but it's still a Realtek ALC892 beneath the hood. The merits of the Killer Networking solution have been long debated, and whilst there isn't any particular advantage in ping or speed in standard situations, if your PC unexpectedly starts updating something or you forgot to kill a torrent, then the traffic shaping keeps your gaming smooth. |
Really nice review, like how the mention of the audio and network were kept to the facts
Re: Killer NIC:
Not sure I'd want traffic shaping forced via integrated hardware
(most routers will provide this if required anyway)(from a security pov wouldn't want an integrated embedded device with layer0 access)Quote

I did think the audio was creative though, got it mixed up with the software :\
