PCMark Vantage
PCMark Vantage is a PC benchmark suite designed for Windows Vista offering one-click simplicity for casual users and detailed, professional grade testing for industry, press and enthusiasts.
A PCMark score is a measure of your computer’s performance across a variety of common tasks such as viewing and editing photos, video, music and other media, gaming, communications, productivity and security.
From desktops and laptops to workstations and gaming rigs, by comparing your PCMark Vantage score with other similar systems you can find the hardware and software bottlenecks that stop you getting more from your PC.
Benchmark Results: The MSI Big Bang XPower outperformed both the EVGA X58 SLI and the ASRock X58 Extreme3 boards by ~200 PCMarks overall. The suite with the largest performance difference was the music suite. The MSI Big Bang XPower uses an add-in sound card which has better capabilities than most onboard audio solutions.
