Overclocked Gaming Performance

When overclocked the performance difference is even more pronounced, where the DFI lags behind by anywhere between a couple and several frames per second depending on the game.

Image Editing, Video Encoding and Multitasking

Real world applications benchmarks such as the ones below are a great way to see the benefits an overclock provides for everyday PC use. Some motherboards respond better than others when overclocking even their CPUs are clocked at the same speeds and in the gaming performance tests we found that the Renaissance was a particularly happy bunny when overclocked.




The same goes for real world performance when overclocked too - the slight lack of CPU performance and slower memory clock and inherent bandwidth mean that the DFI board is closer to the Gigabyte board, however at least the Gigabyte manages to pull it back in multi-tasking, unlike the DFI.
