Our final motherboard test ends in an uneventful whimper as well.
So what have we learned? We have learned that the ASUS A8N32-SLI, as a standard motherboard, performs just as well as our established, mature favourite -- the DFI LanParty nF4 SLI-DR. The DFI did seem to have a lead in most of our tests, but I attribute this to slight improvements in the BIOS (in the form of timings, possibly) on DFI's part.
We are now going to move on to a few high-end game tests in SLI in order to compare dual PCI-E x16 performance to regular dual PCI-E x8 performance. Will it be more of the same old thing, or will the ASUS finally pick up and stretch its legs?
