MSI Big Bang Marshall . . .

slamms, your result is ok. Win 7 kill all the performance

It's not Win7, it's Hydra
Run some graphics tests on Marshal and any other P67 board. There is really huge difference.

What's your CPU speed in that test?

2D performance is ok, similar to Maximus IV Extreme

Thanks for info!

CPU work on 5,6 GHz, 56x100, memory 2133 9-11-9-24 1T.

But i used latest drivers, russian office no send me info about version drivers.

Driver will be FW 266.58. I tested on M4E with CPU @ 5200MHz and I got 133247 with VGA @ 1100 / 1300. Difference from Marshall to board without Hydra is ~5%, that's not huge difference from my point of view

In normal usage - no, but try running for hwbot points on this motherboard :P

Why you want to punish me?

You guys have engineering samples of these boards? Hopefully they'll fix these flaws... losses in 2D and 3D for such a high end board aren't acceptable.

There is NO loss in 2D . Only 3D because Hydra, apparently.

Boards are final PCB, but beta BIOS.

You guys tried the knobs yet?

High-end doesnt only mean good performance.
With the Marshall MSI has clearly gone for functionality too, hence the Hydra chip.

Exactly
