Gigabyte K8N Ultra-SLI - PAGE 10
Tom Karpik - Wednesday, March 16th, 2005


Call of Duty

The trend continues with the Gigabyte boards placing last. The relative difference here is smaller than what was seen in Half-Life 2

Unreal Tournament 2004

Unreal Tournament 2004 paints a similar picture - the Gigabyte boards are still behind, and we have to wonder if this relates to the abnormally low SiSoft Sandra Memory benchmark scores.

X2: Rolling Demo

X2 is where it all goes to hell. If it weren't for the K8N Ultra-SLI grabbing the crown right from the K890Pro-939's reach, the picture would be very similar as what we witnessed in the past few tests. There is a whopping 14 FPS difference between the slowest performer, the K8NXP-SLI, and the K8N Ultra-SLI. What makes this situation stranger is that these boards are almost identical, as previously mentioned.
