ASRock 890GX Extreme4 Motherboard Review

PCMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed for Windows Vista offering one-click simplicity for casual users and detailed, professional grade testing for industry, press and enthusiasts.

A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security.

From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.

Once again we saw a reasonable increase in performance with the overclock, proving its worth.  For those looking for the best results in this benchmark, adding an SSD to the system would give the ‘Productivity' score a large boost.
