The only major component of our test setup that is getting long in the tooth is the GeForce 8800GTS 320MB card, though that card is still a good mid-range card. Performance should be similar to the other X48 motherboards we’ve tested. Performance differences should be attributed to the drivers being used as the chipset, and other components are very nearly the same.
