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.
A very impressive overall score, helped by the Core i7 2600k running at 4.6ghz.
awesome, makes the sapphire Mini ITX H67 look rather feeble IMO.
Price is very impressive for the spec. quite surprised a ROG product isnt £200+
Very nice board, as always from the ROG team……. cheaper than the last one which is always a bonus.
@ francis. they arent the same style of board, one is mini and one is micro. big difference for chassis
gene series has been class leading for a long time now, glad to see it continuing
Can you tell me if this board works well with patriot memory? I had a terrible time with the last model and my memory not working right. took me ages to find out what the problem was as a second board was not posting also…..
How carefully have you actually checked that “onboard” supreme X-Fi audio chip?
Can you point out the chip on the board, and that its from Creative Laps?
Cause the Wiki says “Supreme X-Fi” on mainboards is just software, paired with a generic audio chip from outfits like Realtec and others. If this really was just software, it would be kind of lame and obviously have no influence on signal to noise ratio or THD, since that depends on the chip used, not some sound beautifier software that eats your CPU cycles for mostly questionable improvements…
I have no found a single review on this board that checks on this, they all just seem to copy the menu point from the box into their review.
