***Official***Z68X/P67A-UD7 Club/Discussion/Info**

[NanoBullet]

Guys i'm about to buy a new motherboard (after recall of course) and i don't know what to pick, if the UD7 or the MIVE. I wanted to go with the UD7 but i don't know why, playing games which is going to be the main utility for this build, is where ud7 does worse against competition. I saw lots of reviews and i don't know why in some games the frames the disparity is so big. In CPU performance is unbeatable, and not just in UD7 but other gigabyte models as well, because some may want to point the finger to the NF200 lag.

I don't want to sound like i'm defending the UD7, because i'm not, but what reviews are you talking about and do you have a link (I'm also interested in seeing the results).

The reason i ask is that if one motherboard is more efficient than the other it would usually mean an increase of performance by 1 or 2 frames ie. less than 2%.

I can understand the appeal of the Asus board as it's a fantastic looking board, but i couldn't imagine the performance increase to be that big that it would be worth your time, effort and money.

This are the reviews i have been watching. Probably i think i over reacted in my words previously, because most of the time the difference is aproximatly less then 2%. I think this came over to my mind, because the UD7 usually isn't the winner in the reviews, and sometimes because i'm to nit picky with numbers (i wasn't calculating % of difference) which may helped what i thought previously.

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/375...d/index10.html - This one i can't compare this
because its another platform, but the results are weird.

http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1982&pageID=10050 ~3,5% less in Crysis

After reading this and see everything what i've seen, i'm going to buy both of them, and the one that performs better will stay @ house.

PS: THere is another review which i haven't posted at kingpinCooling. Go the and check it out.

All of them favor MIVE
