Asus A8R-MVP Xpress 200 CrossFire Edition Review

Gaming: Doom 3, Far Cry and 3DMark05

Doom 3

I ran the default timedemo, ‘timedemo demo 1’, three times on each resolution and quality setting, and took the average of the second and third scores.  We ignored the first one as it was always much slower than the following ones as the game was caching textures off the hard drive.   

Far Cry

This is a custom demo we use in various PCP articles, run three times and average the second and third iterations. 

3DMark05

The A8R-MVP performs very well in these tests as well but is just a smidge slower on the 3DMark05 test and the CPU tests.
