With high details enabled at a high resolution, where everyone should be playing, it's a whole different kettle of fish. The situation is mostly graphics limited and the E6300-equipped GA-P35-DS3R performed admirably. Only Call of Duty 2 showed any signs of a drop in performance compared to the other boards equipped with a Core 2 Extreme X6800. The Gigabyte may not support CrossFire, but it does come out just as fast or slightly faster than the more expensive boards in a direct comparison.
