Test Results

There was no surprise here, the MSI 790GX-G65 edged out the Gigabyte 790GP-DS4H in nearly every test with sheer bandwidth muscle. All the CPU intensive tests jumped in score but the 3D tests did not improve at much. At these CPU speeds, the CPU is the system bottleneck so with ~3.5GHz CPU speeds the difference between DDR2 and DDR3 would be more pronounced.
