Futuremark's metric leans toward Gigabyte, with wins in both 3DMark and PCMark Vantage.
Most of the real-world benchmarks showed little difference between boards, making the somewhat-noticeable leadership in Sandra Arithmetic noteworthy for DFI and Asus.
All four motherboard reported dual-channel mode enabled, at DDR3-1333 CAS 8-8-8-24 1T timings, yet Sandra showed a significant difference in memory bandwidth. This appears to be a software issue, since Asus’ score increased noticeably each time we retested it while others didn’t exhibit similar behavior.
