Asrock Penryn1600SLIX3-WiFi S775 Motherboard Review

Motherboards/Intel S775 by massman @ 2008-07-14

In their known style, Asrock re-invented the 680i platform by creating the only official 45nm and 3-Way SLI supporting 680i motherboard. Let´s see how this relatively cheap motherboard performs against the newer 750i platform.

Futuremark 3DMark bench suite

Futuremarks tests

These synthetic 3D benchmarks from Futuremark allow you to evaluate the expected performance of a system with different generations of games. As each 3DMark uses different features and quality settings, it allows you to get an idea of how your system will perform.

3DMark01

3DMark01 has become more and more a system benchmark rather than a graphics card benchmark over the years. Nowadays, you can really see the difference in DDR2 and DDR3 memory setups, high and low FSB setups and so on.

Not so much of a difference, although it seems that the Asrock board is better in handling the CPU bottleneck and that the MSI moves in pole position when the setup is no longer bottlenecked by the cpu.

3DMark03

3DMark03 is very GPU dependant, which comes down to: the more cores, the higher the score. SLI and CF performance increase is spectacular in this benchmark.

Again, not so much of a difference, the 680i is on par with the 750i.

3DMark05

This product of the 3DMark series is again more cpu dependant than it's predecessor, meaning that an overclocked CPU will have a big influence on the end score.

In the E8500 single card test condition, the Asrock wins over the 750i MSI motherboard, however, in both other tests, the MSI wins by a small margin.

3DMark06

3DMark06 features a CPU test which only relies on the processing power, in other words: it doesn't matter which graphics card you're running, at same clocks, the cpu score will remain the same, making it ideal for cpu comparisons.

Very little difference between both boards.

Let's continue with the system benchmarks ->
