Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.
A solid set of results for the Fatal1ty 990FX Professional with a sizeable boost in CPU score when the system was overclocked.
hard to believe that they used to be seen as a ‘budget’ model maker. Great product.
Maybe this has been asked before but some people on a forum I visit say they are actually ASUS, is this right?
Looking forward to bulldozer, but some figures leaked dont look that impress. if they are right.
ill wait until I see some bulldozer reviews before b uying, but this is on my shortlist.
Hi Francis, they used to be Asus’ “sister” company, but made the break some years ago now.
I have a 1090t and ordered this today. if bulldozer is worth the upgrade ill move over !
Excellent again. t hey seem to be on a roll lately with some great products released every week. Im an intel guy, but this is great
The only thing that puts me off this product is having to look at his face in the bios! can that be switched off?
How often do they tend to make bios updates? I had a bad time with my last gigabyte board and thats why I moved ot asus as they are more regular.
Seems to me that ASROCK are really stepping up their game. I currently have two ASROCK boards at home. One of them is about middle of the road and the other is a very budget board running a HTPC. I was very impressed with both boards and they have been running for about 6 months each 24/7 with no problems. Seems to me that both of mine come with pretty cheap looking graphics and UIs but for the feature set vs price you really can’t beat it at all.
You could set a really sh#t clock by AMD CPU releases, intel must be pissing themselves.
I am waiting on parts and will be building a system with the Buldozer and this motherboard. I would be happy to post any info on the results of the build if either Henry Butt or his readers are interested. I chose this Asrock board based on features, reviews and price. So far the board seems to be impressive in all catogories.

Hi Nate,
We would love to hear your views. good luck with the system build!
