Gigabyte EX58-UD4P Review

Testing:

SPECviewperf 10 is a benchmark designed to test OpenGL performance. I will be using the multi-threaded tests to measure 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. Since the E8400 is a dual-core CPU, results will only be shown in the two thread test.

• 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.

All of the 2x SPECview 10 tests show the Gigabyte board to be around the mid-range, while in 4x the board is lowest on Catia, average in Maya, and superior in PROE. PCMark Vantage brings the board in the lower average, until overclocked, which propels it into the lead.
