Sandra 2007

CPU

The Gigabyte 6-Quad N680SLI-DQ6 did EXTREMELY well at the Sandra 2007 processor test - taking the top two spots at stock speeds and taking the second spot at overclocked speeds.



Memory Bandwidth

Unlike in the RightMark memory bandwidth test, the N680SLI-DQ6 did reasonably in the Sandra memory bandwidth test, placing in the middle of the pack at stock speeds, and very well when overclocked - it took the top spot with the old BIOS, and was beaten by itself with the new BIOS, taking the top three spots.



Latency

This test was not kind to the N680SLI-DQ6 - it finished dead last with one overclocked result, but then taking the best five Sandra latency results when overclocked. The stock latency was not great.
