P67 Motherboard Roundup: Nine $150-200 Boards

Features
By published

Improved per-clock performance and higher achievable frequencies are sure to put Intel’s latest K-Series CPUs on top of many builders’ whish lists, but they’ll still need a new socket to put it in. We test nine enthusiast-oriented LGA-1155 motherboards.

Benchmark Results: Crysis

The HI08’s slower CPU clock has little effect on Crysis, even at our lower settings. Gigabyte takes the lead.

Asus edges to the top when we increase detail levels in Crysis, but the differences remain small. Jetway places third-from-last in spite of its slower CPU clock.
