Asus Striker II Extreme Review

 

Testing:

SPECviewperf 10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure the performance when run in this mode. The tests used for comparison are listed below. The default multi-threaded tests were chosen to be able to compare across platforms. In these tests, higher scores equate to better performance.

 

• Catia
• MAYA
• PROE

PCMark Vantage is used to measure complete system performance. We will be running a series of tests to gauge performance of each individual board to see which board, if any, rises above the others.

 

In the SPECviewperf testing, in four out of six measures, the Striker II Extreme was outperformed. In PCMark Vantage, the margin between the X48 offering and the 790i offering is quite substantial, skewing unfavorably toward the 790i Striker II Extreme.
