PC gaming is another key aspect to evaluate when looking to purchase a small form factor motherboard. The H55N-USB3 recorded the lowest score of all the motherboards we tested in 3DMark Vantage, but made up for it in our Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 low-resolution testing. While the synthetic benchmark scores are important, I tend to put more stock into the true game play scores. When reviewing how it performed it game, it was on par with the larger motherboards sporting the same chipset and processor.
