3D Application Performance
Typically I only do CPU and motherboard testing at the low resolution of 640x480x16. Many people question why I don't include higher resolutions. The reason is quite simple and it will be reflected in the results. When the higher resolutions are used the graphics card quickly becomes the bottleneck in performance. You can see that the 1024x768x16 results do not vary much between each of the motherboards. Again, this is because the graphic board has become the bottleneck. From here on out we'll leave higher resolution testing for graphics boards reviews and not motherboard and CPU performance comparisons.
Shogo Performance Using DirectX 7.0
In the Shogo Fortress (DX7) 640x480x16 test, it is the BIOSTAR M7MKA that holds second place, rather than the ASUS K7M board
