First Intel 965 vs 975 tests (Gigabyte vs. Asus)

jmke · 21st June 2006, 12:24

Despite the fact that benchmarks showed a mixed bag in terms of performance, coming up with a conclusion for the Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 turned out to be surprisingly simple. It is the most user friendly and feature packed (and I mean functional features) motherboard I have come across to date that will appeal to the gamer or overclocker and even the criticising hardware connoisseur. It may not be as quick as the 975 based offerings in 2D arithmetic intensive applications, but the difference on the desktop is defintely less tangible than when you are running around in Oblivion.
