Asus M4A87TD/USB3 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.

The PCMark Vantage scores achieved by this motherboard are quite impressive, in part a result of having an SSD in the test system.  The overclocked results show an improvement over the stock settings although this benchmark takes all aspects of the system into account so the difference is quite small.

  1. What a stunning price. I know a lot of people never use dual graphics solutions so this is more than ideal.

  2. Good feature set and great price, always buy asus boards meself.

  3. Asus and MSI make the best mobos on the market, bar none

  4. The only downside is the sata ports pointing upwards. bad design decision in 2011, even on a budget board.

  5. Very solid looking board, shame about the sata design, thats rather unusual for asus even on a budget model.

  6. Great stuff. ideal for a low cost performance system.

  7. Finally, a motherboard most people can afford !

  8. have this board SATA 3.0 ?
