PCMark Vantage Benchmark Results

For a $200 motherboard, the GIGABYTE X58A-UD3R held it's own nicely compared to the Rampage II Extreme. While it may not have topped the RIIE, it wasn't very far behind at all. The only area it beat the RIIE was in the HDD Test Suite although by a small margin. Not bad at all considering the Rampage II Extreme still retails around $350.
