Pipe Dreams: Six P35-DDR3 Motherboards Compared
Benchmark Results
3D Games
A strange thing happened to both Gigabyte boards in the game "Call Of Duty 2", where the results were constantly changing. A guess would be that the current BIOS versions did not properly disable Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology on our particular test processor, which was manually disabled in BIOS for all boards. This is the only test Gigabyte's boards showed odd results in, and these are the first Gigabyte boards to show the problem.
F.E.A.R is the second game Biostar stood at the top in, and it's a pity the board we received was not quite retail-ready.
Biostar dropped to last place by a meager margin in Quake 4, handing the overall gaming lead to Asus.
