ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe - PAGE 12
Tom Karpik - Wednesday, February 15th, 2006


Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Consistency is a great thing, isn't it?

Unreal Tournament 2004

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?
