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.
PcMark Vantage certainly seems to favour the MSI board with higher scores in both system and productivity results. The Asrock board trails the pack again but the results are very close indeed.
I own Intel, but I do think that AMD get better motherboards. look at the current state of slot 1156 motherboards for instance. cant get two with x16 !
Wow, this was better than I thought it would be, ive never rated MSI.

Interesting to see power consumption figures, wish you had did that for the GTX465 review. Bet they were bad bad bad
AMD motherboards are great, just wish Intel made the CPUs for them :p
Great review, gotta say tho, those miltitary grade capacitors. thats bollocks. Are we meant to believe MSI are getting them from the airforce or something?
It is nt funny how no matter how good a board is, the makers always do smoething stupid? that sata port for instance …. oops!
Shame we didnt see the asus board in the mix, its the best one of them all. would be interesting to see performance with it
Fab board this, shame its not intel slot though !
The overall quality of AMD motherboards seems to be higher. the 890FX chipset is brilliant however.
