Asus P5WD2 Premium Review - PAGE 7
William Henning - Monday, August 29th, 2005

The P5WD2 had the best MP3 encoding time, 4 seconds faster than the second placing Gigabyte 8N-SLI Roayl..

The P5WD2 took last place on two pass XviD encoding, coming in a full 35 seconds after first place, and 22 seconds after third place - that is it was 4.5% slower than the first place P5ND2-SLI board.

The P5WD2 also took last place on TMPGenc, but this time by a measily 8 seconds compared to first place - that is only 1.4% slower than the first place P5ND2-SLI.

A trend is emerging - the P5WD2 appears to be in the same ballpark performance wise as some of the best performing nForce based motherboards on the market.
