The Test
In recent times, choosing a motherboard cannot be completely determined by a Winstone score. Now, many boards come within one Winstone point of each other and therefore the need to benchmark boards against each other falls. Therefore you should not base your decision entirely on the benchmarks you see here, but also on the technical features and advantages of this particular board, seeing as that will probably make the greatest difference in your overall experience.

Gigabyte doesn’t have a great history when it comes to performance, but they are catching up with the GA-8TX. These scores show Gigabyte leading in SYSMark 2000 and performing up to par in Content Creation Winstone 2001. They fall behind marginally in the Quake III Arena test. Overall the results are a good sign for Gigabyte.
