POV Ray:
POV-Ray, for Persistence of Vision Raytracer, is a 3D rendering software that has impressive photorealistic capabilities.
The results in POV Ray are nearly identical for all the boards at stock, as there was less than a 100 point difference between the three X58 options. The results once overclocked did show some difference between the three models, but once again the ASUS Rampage has the best performance at 4140MHz.
Cinebench:
Cinebench 10 is another rendering program, also optimized for many-core processors. I will run both the single-threaded benchmark as well as the multi-threaded.
The results keep coming in the same with all boards having an equal level of performance at stock and the Rampage performing the best once overclocked thanks to the additional frequency.
Also a better cooler would be needed if you wanted to pit extreme boards, you'd need to see what you could max out at and not cap to 1.375. Now that would be a round up that the rampage 3 I wouldn't mind to see thrown in too. Of course though this wouldn't be a review then, it would be an over clocking contest lol. I don't think a Big Bang would stretch the voltage much more for his cpu if any.
I was able to push the p6x58D-Premium to 21*228bclk before it was wigging on me. Might be able to get that higher too.
