Maybe we can do for this board what we achieved at Asus camp when we had issues with the Q94/9550 series CPU's on the P5Q series... gather info and pass that on is a very good idea Chew*...
I'm meeting the giga crew next week at CeBIT and could pass this info trough ( maybe short notice as it's in 2 days ), I need some crossfire cards to verify 3D... only got Nvidiots here...
Can you pm me the HD issues Brian, OS install went pretty normal here with F2 ( XP, XP64 and Win7 Pro 64 )...

Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
Might be able to see the 3d biased GT issues with NV, not sure though. Should not need to even be in crossifre to see it, canyon will be lower than avg when compared to the majority in 05/06 and same in 3d based gt's in 03.Originally Posted by Leeghoofd
Best way to see the poor HD performance is to install win7 to an MSI and giga at the same time. The MSI will finish by at least 2 minutes faster. Let me drag out my MSI or Crosshair III and run the HD tests again.
James and I even noted that the HD performance was sub par compared to the elder 790FXT as we had run pcmark on it prior to using the FXTA and HD's scores went down.

Ok so I did a little comparison.
Now as far as HD synthetics gobest i can tell you is ASUS/MSI installs windows faster. ASUS boots this particular install with 8 load bars at splash screen, MSI boots in 10 bars and Gigabyte boots in 16 bars.
MSI results were odd. Could be the fact that I prefer an ancient bios for benching.

I also did a 3d comparision. Things you need to keep on mind. Likely bottlenecked by CPU so the diff is minimal at best right now but is linear as you scale higher and add more gpu power. Giga clocks NB on avg lower than both boards, and the MSI tends to OC alot higher due to being relaxxed. What ends up happening is giga is trailing in the top end by a rather large gap In 3d biased GT's.
