Sapphire Pure Black X79N Motherboard and HD7970 GPU Review

Handbrake is a fantastic free program which we wanted to include to confirm findings with Media Espresso, earlier in the review. HandBrake is an open-source, GPL-licensed, multiplatform, multithreaded video transcoder, available for MacOS X, Linux and Windows.

We used the latest V 0.9.5 for testing today across all platforms. We encoded an DVD.MPG file.

Another good test to show the architectural benefits of the new X79 platform, taking only 4 minutes and 20 seconds to complete the encoding task at reference clock speeds.
