Gigabyte X79S-UP5-WIFI (with Intel Xeon E5 2660) Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.

We compare against Kitguru's main GPU test system, comprising a Core i7 970 clocked to 4.6ghz (full system listed on Testing Methodology page).

Slightly disappointing scores for the E5 2660 system, highlighting the clock speed differences between the physical cores, even though the E5 has two extra.
