H55 & H57 Motherboard Roundup Review

Testing:

3DMark06 is one of the benchmarks that always comes up when a bragging contest is started. 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

3DMark06 is getting a little old, but it is still a great benchmark to gauge a product's DX9 gaming performance. In this test the Asus P7H57D-V EVO was ahead of the others by a rather wide margin. Overclocking yielded the same type of results as the Asus P7H57D-V EVO was the strongest performer.
