Gigabyte 6-Quad N680SLI-DQ6 Review - PAGE 5
William Henning - Tuesday, April 24th, 2007


Business Winstone

The Gigabyte N680SLI did very well in Business Winstone at stock speeds; it was only 0.4 points (just over 1%) behind the top placing Asus P5N32-E; it beat the stock Abit AB9Pro by 0.5 points but lost to it when the AB9Pro was significantly overclocked. Strangely, the new BIOS slightly lowered the N680SLI's score, however 0.2 points is within experimental error.



Multimedia Winstone

The N680SLI took first place among the stock results for Multimedia Winstone!  Sure, the significantly overclocked AB9Pro beat it handily, but none of the other boards at stock speeds managed to beat it. Even better, the new F4e BIOS boosted the N680SLI's score by 0.6 points, which is higher than experimental error could account for.
