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.
Again, we can see the real world performance benefits of overclocking in this test. We can also see how the P8Z77-V LX outperforms the Z77 Extreme6 by a very slight margin.
that gigabyte board is hard to beat on price. they can’t be making more than £10 from each sale.
Great looking board for the price, but I still cant believe the gigabyte price point.
Not bad, but id like two 16x slots for futureproofing.
I have bought two of these boards this week, as part of bundles from my local component shop in Coventry, and I have to say they are very solid. yeah I get what your saying about the lack of 2 x 16 Crossfire, but as I will never use it, the board is solid. Currently running mine with a 3570k and an NH-D14 at 4.5Ghz. Easy to set up as long as the 1st thing you do is update the Bios.
