ASUS Sabertooth X58 Motherboard Performance Review

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is the new industry standard PC gaming performance benchmark from Futuremark, newly designed for Windows Vista and DirectX10. It includes two new graphics tests, two new CPU tests, several new feature tests, and support for the latest hardware. 3DMark Vantage is based on a completely new rendering engine, developed specifically to take full advantage of DirectX10, the new graphics API from Microsoft.

Performance settings were used, so a 1280×1024 resolution was used.

Benchmark Results: The ASUS Sabertooth was able to outperform the MSI Big Bang XPower by nearly 400 points in the overall score and nearly 500 points in the GPU scores!
