MSI Z68A-GD80-G3 (Intel Z68) Motherboard Review

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 system scored 21,585 points from the overclocked Core i5 2500k processor, and the Sapphire HD6870 overclocked edition weighed in at 17,275 points, lowering the total score a little to 18,182 points. Still, we can't complain with these results.

  1. Its a great motherboard, but it seems a little expensive. £200 ? That gigabyte board earlier this week was £85 and had everythign I needed.

  2. touch screen bios is a cool idea, but does anyone use a touch screen for a main desktop system? I doubt it really.

  3. I love MSI graphics cards, this is an excellent board, but that gigabyte Z68A has spolit me for money. £85 its a bargain. I could lose a few things on this one, such as dual x8, and a few ports, and that touch screen bios. if it saves me £115, makes sense.

  4. This was a genuinely extremely beneficial post. In theory I’d like to write like this also getting time and actual effort to make a good piece of writing but what can I say I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain anything done.
