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.
The Asus P8Z68-V Pro Gen 3 system scores slightly higher than our long term overclocked 970 system, increasing the GPU score from 24,200 to 24,832 points.
They do make a good mobo. ive always bought ASUS
I went with MSI last time, cant say its been a bad buy, but i wish id gotten one of the new UEFI products. maybe end of year ill upgrade.
Well im maybe the only person who thinks this, but they make far too many boards in any given range. I dont know why they just dont stick to 3 boards in every platform.
standard
luxury
extreme
Look at the Z68 range right now, must be 30 boards available. very confusing.
As an owned of this mobo i can vouch for its brilliant performance and bios. I have no experience in overclocking but using the auto tuning feature paired with a 2500k i have achieved 4.630gz though i am using the Corsair Hydro H60 cooler. The temperatures while gaming are amazingly low. The weird thing is that the mobo reaches about 28 degrees Celsius and the cpu around 26.
As this is the first rig i have ever built i’m glad i didnt opt for any other mobo within that price range.
Just built a new computer with this motherboard. So far no problems. Works great. The Intel SRT technology is great.
