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 computers 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 ASUS Crosshair IV Formula had a significant performance margin over both the ASRock 890GX Extreme3 and the BIOSTAR TA890GXB HD, especially when you consider that the motherboard is the only piece of hardware that was different.
