Gigabyte X48T-DQ6 Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest is begun. 3DMark06 presents a severe test for many of today's hardware components. Let's see how this setup fares. The settings we will use are listed below.

Settings:

• SM2.0 Graphics Tests: GT1- Return to Proxycon, GT2- Firefly Forest
• CPU Tests: CPU1- Red Valley, CPU2- Red Valley
• HDR/SM3.0 Graphics Tests: HDR1- Canyon Flight, HDR2- Deep Freeze

In this benchmark, the DDR3 X48T-DQ6 pulled ahead in all four resolutions. In 23 out of 32 gaming benchmarks, the performance of the DDR3 based X48T-DQ6 was equal to or better than the DDR2 based version in my testing.
