Like all the benchmarks before this, the Foxconn G9657MA-8EKRS2H was always playing catch up to the Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3 in terms of system performance, especially in memory intensive applications.
Its graphics performance was again higher due to better polished drivers. However, its 1479 score is still only passable for low resolution gaming. In contrast, a G965 board fitted with a GeForce 7900 GT will deliver an average 19500 score.
