Six Socket FM2 Motherboards For AMD's Trinity APUs

Benchmark Results: Adobe Creative Suite

Five of the six boards in today’s comparison yield identical Photoshop performance, while the sixth board falls only a second behind in this two-and-a-half minute test.

The two boards that finished at the top of our single-threaded Lame encoding results fall to the bottom of our After Effects bench.

ECS stumbles a little in the single-threaded Acrobat X test, so we retested and saw the A85F2-A Golden stumble yet again. We’re not sure the cause of that minor benchmark gap, but we do like to confirm the consistency of any atypical results.

    And I would penalize Asrock for the brown PCB. Its an otherwise nice looking board, but this is a trend I don't care for.

    Why, why do you keep posting Skyrim as being a DirectX11 title? It IS NOT. It's just DX9

I checked the article and didn't find it, and I really need to find it before I can gripe at the person who made the final revisions to this article. His comment could be completely false for all I know...

Even if you have a case with an acrylic window, do you stare into your PC all day and night? If so, that is trend I don't care for.

    There are much more important things to worry about, like quality, price, and features, to name a few...
