Gigabyte 6-Quad N680SLI-DQ6 Review - PAGE 10
William Henning - Tuesday, April 24th, 2007


Call of Duty

The Gigabyte N680SLI-DQ6 did not do too well at stock here.



Commance 4

The N680SLI-DQ6 took last place, *BUT* it was only 3% out of first place at stock; it was a very close field.



Doom 3

The N680SLI-DQ6 placed 5th out of a field of 10 boards at stock speeds, and was 21 FPS slower than the AB9Pro that took first place. The new BIOS improved the stock results by 7.8fps.



Quake 4

Ouch. With the original BIOS, at stock speeds the N680SLI took dead last place. When overclocked, fourth place was the best it could do.

The new BIOS ***GREATLY*** improved the stock results - by almost 50% - adding an impressive 33.4fps to the stock score for the N680SLI, bringing it within 7fps of the top stock score.
