For performance comparison we ran the tests with the MSI 790FX-GD70, which obviously features the last generation top of the line 790FX chipset. Throughout the tests the both 890GX boards were so even we're mainly going to concentrate in how the new GX-series chipset compares to the old FX-version.

3DMark Vantage

To get the performance tests started we launched the 3Dmark Vantage, and its Performance preset. Obviously the results are very close to each other, and with the results arranged according to the CPU-score, the Asrock takes the lead, winning the Gigabyte by 47 and the MSI by 58 points.

3DMark 05

We also ran the old 3DMark as it depends more on the platform than on the graphic card. Again the competition is very close, with this time the Gigabyte coming out on top, winning the MSI by mere 23 points. The Asrock comes last this time, losing another 200 points to the 790FX-GD70.

X3 Terran

X3 Terran game benchmark an the Asrock wins again, taking a surprising gap of 2,5 FPS to the others.
