Gaming Tests
3DMark Vantage
A reliable and popular benchmark, 3DMark Vantage can provide a good insight into overall gaming performance of a system.
Crysis Warhead
One of the most visually impressive games ever built, Crysis Warhead also has an incredibly realistic physics and simulation engine.
Far Cry 2
Far Cry 2 pairs impressive visuals with a truly interactive and destructible environment.
Our gaming benchmarks still showed the EVGA P55 FTW coming out in last place, but not by a huge margin. The board actually was neck-in-neck for most of the Crysis and Far Cry 2 testing, which could have been due to the graphics card instead of the motherboard’s performance. I’d like to try some DirectX 11 testing in future reviews to see how these boards perform in that environment.
