Benchmarks Continued:
Crysis Warhead:

|
While playing the game Crysis Warhead, the frame rates did not drop below 34Fps. This is actually very reasonable considering the resolution of 1280X800 with 4X AA at optimal settings (gamer settings). It should be noted that video games, and especially Crysis, are much more video card dependent than CPU. As such unless the game is coded to take advantage of multiple cores beyond 4 you will not really see much speedup with the introduction of six core processors. We would expect that to change quickly as the gaming industry will want to start using all the processing power at their disposal.

3DMark06 |
Though the score is primarily dependent on the video card, 3DMark06 does dedicate a portion of the score to the CPU and as such is included in testing. We should not that this is the first time this reviewer has ever seen higher than 2fps when the benchmark was running the CPU only segment of the 3DMark06.

| ScienceMark 2.0 |
The ScienceMark 2.0 benchmark came back with a very impressive number in comparison to the AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition Quad Core Processor score of 197155 shown here. Note: Though the test system is running with a x64Bit operating system like the 965 BE Quad Core review, the 1090T review is also running more RAM and also a solid state drive which will assist with this score.

| The Windows 7 Base score of 6.7 |
The Windows 7 Base score can be useful to some users out there to assisting them with picking the software that will work the computer system and what software will likely be too demanding. We figured we would post our score showing that even with a solid state drive, 8GB of RAM and a six core processor; we only get a 7.5 out of 7.9 scale. Now we ended up with a 6.7 overall due to the graphics card, but we will attest that we have played several of the latest games which are very demanding when it comes to PC performance and what we experienced was nothing less than 7.8 across the board.
An awesome board with an amazing laundry list of features for ~$230. I need one!
