Default ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i PWNS P5N32-E SLI 680i and STRIKER EXTREME 680i

Once again, this board proves it's bang for the buck.

http://www.techspot.com/review/43-asus-p5n-e-sli/

See below for the gaming results-from page 4, comparing SLI setups.

Keep in mind- this board runs 8x8x SLI, not 16x16x.
It's UNREAL how good this board does compared to boards like those, especially the Striker Extreme!

Quote:
While the boards look physically different and also utilize different Nvidia chipsets, they deliver almost the exact same performance. Overclocking on the P5N-E SLI was excellent, though not quite as easy to configure as we would have liked, the potential for great results is there. We did not bother to show any overclocking figures as I believe that wouldn’t have done the board any justice, we did have quite a lot of success in the end.
Special thanks to Nevaziah for finding this and posting it in out P5N-E thread. (Sticky'd in Intel Motherboards)

LOL...
Remember the DS3 is posting impressive #'s with only one 8800GTX.
BUT, it still doesn't keep up with an SLI rig. Especially with a board of this caliber

After I made the post I realized it doesn't PWN it unless you take the cost into consideration. Otherwise, it's on par, sometimes slightly slower and quite a few times better. If you take into consideration that it's hundreds less than the Striker, well, it PWNS. lol.

That's a very impressive comparison, especially considering the huge price difference. For what it's worth, I've been happy with my P5N-E SLI since the day I got it. I didn't know much about either this board or the Gigabyte so I was going off a hunch when I placed my order. It worked in my favor this time. For the first time ever I plan on just doing a CPU upgrade next time instead of replacing my entire rig.
